I was considering trying something different. You see what I'm running. What if I went with an Emotiva XPA-5 to power the lsi's and just use the Onkyo to power the Genesis sides? Would this be an improvement over the Rotel? Thanks

    I wasn't impressed at all with the Rotel 1077 when I listened to it last year. You won't be disappointed with the XPA5.

    Thanks cfrizz. Me being new at this, the Rotel sounds fine but always looking to improve. Was considering the the MPS-2 but after all the info I've gained on here and missing my old Kenwood 2 channel may investigate my options for two amps.
