Hey i got RTI A5's

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your inputs.
I was there for the whole day, auditioning the speakers. First I had the idea to buy a Monitor 50 with the Sub, but after connecting monitor 50 I felt that the sound was little thinner and not wholesome, also the PSw110 never kicked.

Then I went on to Monitor 60, there was a considerable difference in midrange while listening to them. I was very excited about it. But my Amp which is only a Onkyo 304 was causing a little distortion above volumes of 55.
Post lunch I was very excited about the purchase that I was about to make... Then came the turning point. I just wanted to listen to the new Rti A5speakers connected to my AMP...I thought that Onkyo 304 will really suffer to power this.

To my amazement, I couldnt believe the difference it had in the sound from Monitor 60's, the midrange the bass was so good. My amp was powering the Rti's well than the monitor 60's.Although we couldnt go more than volume 55 (max is 70).
I immediately asked the person to pack the new Rti A5 cherry.
Surely guys, there is a massive difference between Monitor and the Rti series. Since i will be keeping them for long I just stretched my budget.
Now combined with my Onkyo sub these speakers sound just great. I am very satisfied with the purchase of Rti's. I got the pair for 800 US$.
The sales guy told that I was using only half the potential of the Speakers because of my Amp. When he connected the speakers to a stereo amp the sound was incredible. Now I am starting to save money for a good AMP. One of the songs for audition was Linken Park What I have done.
Can you tell me the time for Burn in or break in period. Should I only listen to moderate volumes for now?
Will be posting snaps soon!!
