    Hmmm.....


    They need a lot of POWER, your AVR may not power them correct.

    Also not sure about Canada prices, but that seems to be a lot money for them.

    I never heard A9 speakers, but IMHO I would say about the same. They have 3 sub woofers and 2 mid woofers with 1" tweeter. RTi150 speakers have 3 sub woofers 1 mid woofer with the 1" tweeter. I'm thinking 2 mid woofer doing the same as the 1 mid woofer is good for the woofer. They love power, but over powering them I blow that 1 mid woofer ;)

    Don't worry I have about 400+ watts to them, and I make them SING :)

    I just picked up a pair of these this week locally, man they really sound good, but im trying to drive them with my new yamaha rxv1900, 130w x7, I biamped them, and they really heat up the amp while playing them in 2 ch mode with loud music!!! HT is fine, but for music Im going to have to buy a seperate amp I guess? Its not over heating the yammy till the circuit protector shuts it down, but its just running way to hot.
