Got the RX V1 in today and its bad as hell. Ordered some new speakers cables so im looking forward to get it all hooked up. RTi10's scream with this big bastard powering them. Dunno much on how to hook it up and get it going but its a bad peice of equipment. The little door that covers the front knobs and stuff is a 1/4" thick peice black anodized aluminum. I pulled out my digital caliper just to double check. lol its hefty as balls and looks amazing.

The rxv1 is a monster and will power the hell out of your rti series polks. You should be very happy with it's current abilities. Monster power section. This receiver to me was the end of a fantastic era. I miss those days..... Can I come over and just hang out a bit? I want to remember.

Glad ya like it!
I woulda had it if I had the room in my audio shelf unit.
BUT it was only 8" tall and that beast wouldn't even begin to fit let alone have breathing room!
Soooo enjoy it for me will ya! :D :(
Just a word to the wise......
Not to be rude or anything but......
Your gonna hafta cool it on the colorful metaphores if your gonna wanna stick around here.
Your lucky your just banned for a few days and not kicked off.
Seem like a fun Guy to have around just don't ruin it for yourself.
I'm off my soapbox now! :D

Bad MOFO man. This was THE ONE back in the day. I have heard it power some Vienna Acoustic Mozarts with a Rel sub and man I was really loving it. It is very powerful for theater as well. One of the very best.
I'm so into it.
