Amp for RTI10s

Hello, I am finally upgrading from my Polk 5.1 RM 6750 setup.
I just picked up a pair of used RTi10 towers to use in a 3.1 setup. My center is a Paradigm CC 190 v6.
The sub is still from the RM6750 set and will be upgraded after I upgrade the AVR.
My current AVR is a Denon X1300W which is less than 2 years old. I also have a Yamaha HTR 6030 from 10 years ago.
From what I have read on here I'm guessing I will be in the market for a new AVR with preouts and an amp to drive the RTi10s?
I have a chance to pick up a used Pioneer Elite VSX 49TXi and was hoping to get your opinions on this AVR?

Found out today that a co-worker has a Marantz Sr 5011 for sale. He's asking $400 Cdn. Would this be a good AVR option for the RTi10 towers?
He also is looking to sell a polk 125 sub. How do you feel about this sub with RTi10 fronts?
Thank you for any input. -
A good AVR, but the sub is just so-so. That amp has pre-outs, so if you feel you need more power later, you can add an amp.

Btw, welcome to CP!

Thanks for the reply and the welcome :-).
Wondering about the zone 2 pre-outs on my Denon X1300W AVR. Could these be used be used with an amp to drive the RTi10 speakers?
I'm fairly new to using tower speakers in a HT setup. If I understand correctly from what I have read on here there is a chance of damaging the RTi10's by having them under powered. I really want to get the best possible sound out of them, but necessarily loud as in full volume.

Yes... but in another zone. Those aren't meant for the home theater zone. They wouldn't be calibrated with the rest of your speakers.Wondering about the zone 2 pre-outs on my Denon X1300W AVR. Could these be used with an amp to drive the RTi10 speakers? -
Your Denon will drive those speakers. Just don't turn it up to insane levels.

Thanks. Good to know that the Denon will drive the RTi10s. As stated above I am not the type to have the volume maxed. I will look at selling the Yamaha AVR with RM6750 setup including sub as a set and invest that cash in to a new sub.

Well less than 24 hours later...I bought the Marantz sr 5011. Should have it set up my Friday.

That's a fine AVR, also with pre-outs, should you decide you need more power later. You should be very happy with that. Btw, I started with the RM6750, too. Knew right away it wouldn't be enough! Love my RTi10 HT.

When I list the spare gear for sale locally people are going to think she finally kicked me out.
