What do you polk gurus think of this set up

[selkec]

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 ;)

Have you checked out what has been said in the Emotiva Story thread?

Different people have different experiences with that product.
There are plenty of people in that thread who consider themselves to be smart.
You may want to ask them. I'm sure they will provide a response.

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.

+1...Combined with that adjective Russ uses. F***tard. I've seen heads of cabbage with more sense than 79 Ford.

YEP. I really dont care what he says because ai own Emotiva xpa5 right now and it kicks ass. 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.

Sellers can no longer leave buyers negative feedback. Not sure the situation, but if the seller changed the terms of the auction and is now asking more to ship, then he's violated the auction. You can report him.
