Polk Speaker Purchase Advice

Gary C

I am considering purchasing some polks for the first time. These would be the main towers for music and HT. I have a choice between two used speakers:

RTi A7

RTi 8

Which do you think is the better speaker? Thanks for your advice.

I have a Yamaha HTR 5650 receiver which I will be keeping (see link below)

It puts out 6 x 80 watts. How does that sound for enough power to handle the RTi A7's?

Thx

Thanks for the tips. A new receiver would be nice.

Looks to me it pushes 95Watt with 8ohm speakers.

My Yammy pushes 90watts x 6 and it's enough for me and my Polks.

Gary C

Yes, in dynamic mode it does shift 95w to the mains. Thanks for catching that.

Anyone know what the recommended min power is for either of these speakers?
