    That Outlaw would be awesome for the price range you are looking at. Or in the FS section there is an Earthquake Cinenova Grande 5, its only 5 channels, but I'm sure it would get the job done for the the 10's.

    I have read some fantastic reviews on the Emotiva. Good bang for the buck. Outlaws have very good reputation as well. Many on this forum use Outlaws. The RTi10's tend accent the highs so a "warmer" amp would work well with them. If I had the cash I'd be all over the Emotiva but that's just me.

    Eh you really don't need 200wpc to drive the RTi10s to perfection. I've tried a whole slew of amps...the quality of the amp seems to be much more important than the wattage. I've got an Emotiva LPA-1 and it drives the RTi10s to >90dB without difficulty and with copious bass. Unless you have an ENORMOUS room (in which case you prob have the wrong speakers), I can't imagine needing more power. I've heard the whole transients argument...but when I plugged the 200wpc amps in...even transformers couldn't bring out a difference.

    Good luck w/your purchase...and I've heard the MPS2. It's a beauty...although the combo of it + RTis was a little too bright for me. If you have to go 200wpc I'd think about the Emo XPA5.

    Cheers
