Got the RX V1 in today and its bad as hell. Ordered some new speakers cables so im looking forward to get it all hooked up. RTi10's scream with this big **** powering them. Dunno much on how to hook it up and get it going but its a bad peice of equipment. The little door that covers the front knobs and stuff is a 1/4" thick peice black anodized aluminum. I pulled out my digital caliper just to double check. lol its hefty as balls and looks amazing.

    group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.

    The rxv1 is a monster and will power the hell out of your rti series polks. You should be very happy with it's current abilities. Monster power section. This receiver to me was the end of a fantastic era. I miss those days..... Can I come over and just hang out a bit? I want to remember.

    Bad **** man. This was THE ONE back in the day. I have heard it power some Vienna Acoustic Mozarts with a Rel sub and man I was really loving it. It is very powerful for theater as well. One of the very best.

    I'm so into it.
