I have a Yamaha RX-V863 Receiver 7.2 i just got my polk RTi A9'S would it make sense to BI/AMP them? but i have the rear speakers in where i would have to BI/AMP them. does this mean i can only do one or the other?

Thanks.

    Forget bi-amping and get yourself an external amp.

    If you check out the electronics section of the forums you should see several threads over the past few days discussing and comparing different amps- even speciffically for the rti line. Linked you to one below, but there are more too.

    No problem (and welcome :) ) I have been in the same boat as you lately, and all those threads in the electronics section have been very helpful. Most of them give some good info on the amps leroyjr1 mentioned too.
