[xterra77]

Hi Everyone
i am new to the club
Just purchased rti10s front
fxi5s surround
csi3 rear
already had the csi5 center
all being powered by Harmon Kardon avr230
i do not know why you need an xternal amp to power the rti10s.because with my avr they have lots of bass and my room is 18x22.am i missing something

Not if you are happy. But, perhaps you should be asking yourself the question . . . "are you missing something?" Never know unless to power with separates. IMHO you don't need a golden ear to hear an immediate difference with the presence of separates. Unless of course the separates are less superior to the AVR. 9 times out of ten this is not the case.

Welcome to Club Polk. This has been discussed at least a couple of times recently ... suggest reading through these threads and then coming back with more specific questions if you are not happy with your setup, or if you need more info.
