    Dont think you will have a problem driving those speakers, but not adding an external amp down the road would be criminal! The A-9'S, like my A-7'S, sound and perform alot better with more power. It was like night and day when i added an amp for my A-7's. The 805 has pre-out's for that most welcome addition. The wattage stated by most companies is not entirely accurate, your 130 w per channel is probably more like 80, 90, maybe?
    Receiver: Pioneer Elite SC-05
    Amp: Emotiva Xpa-3
    Front L/R: POLK Rti-a9s':D
    Center:POLK Csi-a6
    Rear surround's:POLK Rti-a1s'
    Sub: Klipsch Synergy sub-12
    Sony Kdl-46w4100 46" LCD
    PS3
    Audioquest type 4 wiring.

    I noticed a big difference with external amplification with my old RTi10's and now my RTi A5's as well. retro, how much of a difference was it with the CSi A6? Thinking about getting an XPA-3 so my center channel will get external power but not sure if I should shell out the money

    Fronts: Energy RC-70
    Center: Energy RC-LCR
    Surrounds: Energy Veritas 1.0CM
    Subwoofer: SVS PC12-NSD
    Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR705
    Amplifier: Denon POA-2200 w/ Ben's ICs

    I noticed a big difference in the clarity of dialogue from the A6 after getting the Xpa-3, movies, tv, Ps3 games. But the best thing is 2 channel, what a difference this amp makes. 200w into 3 channels, 250w into 2 channels. Highly recommend this amp. Yes, your center will be much improved.:)
