Just got my second set of rti150's. Using them for frontd and rears because I get into multi ch music sometimes plus I will get more slam from them as rear surrounds. Here is the kicker. Im thinking of by amping these with 2 emotiva xpa5's. Including my csi5 for all 5 speakers bi amped.
Option 2 is xpa2 for the front 150's and bi amp all others. I have heard good reviews of dual xpa5's. Any thoughts from you smart guys out there ;)

    X crapper is a tard. Emo actualy makes some good cheap gear. I have some under audition in my house. I would go XPA-2 for mains, and forget bi amping.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    YEP. I really dont care what he says because ai own Emotiva xpa5 right now and it kicks ****. For the price it will blow away amps costing thousands. So what people got bad amps or whatever from them . Every company has some bad stuff slip thru the crack. Their customer service cant be beat.
    The bad news is the rti150's I won the guy is now asking like 350 to ship them so I said no way and to keep them. Ill take a negative on ebay, screw it. So now back to the search. Probably wait for the A9's price to drop or try to find a good deal on them. Im in no hurry.
