Wiring My Rtia5's to my emotiva XPA-3 Help
Hi: I will be adding an external amp to my Polk speakers and I would like some advice on how to proceed for best listen results.
Equipment:
Onkyo 806 avr
Polk Rti a5's
Polk csi3
Polk PSW 505
Polk fx300i's*
I am waiting for delivery of a emotiva XPA 3
Currently I have the Polk Rti a5's set up in a bi-wired mode with the Onkyo 806. I will connect the emotiva XPA-3 to the Rti a5 fronts, and csi 3 center.
1) How should my wiring be configured for best results. It there are instructions somewhere on the Polk Forum, that would do as well.
2) Also, I just purchased the Polk fx300i's from another member in the forum to replace my current crappy HTB Sony surrounds. They are in transit as we speak. Is a good match for the rest of my other speakers? I got them at a good price ( I think), I just want to know if I need to pass these on and go with something else.
3) Should I use any special rca's to connect my XPA-3's and should I have any other special connections ready other than a 3.5mm to 3.5mm for the triggers?
Any insight is greatly appreciated. It's you old school Polkheads that got me hooked on this premium habit
Thanks

Good setup!!
1. If you aleady have it bi-wired now.....bi-wire it to the Emo when you get it.
2. That should be fine. It all depends on the room dimensions, mounting locations, etc. You be the judge!!
3. I would get quality RCA's. It all depends on what you want to pay. I would get at least BJ IC. If you want to get the most out of your system, get Ben's IC Living Room:....................[HTML] [/HTML] Zone 2 (Workout Room):
