What amp?

[CaptainMurphy]

Ok so i have two rti 10's for my left and right channel and wanted to get a seperate amp and was looking at the anthem pva 2 anybody have this or any other suggestions.

[dorokusai]

That's a nice piece of gear.

That question is loaded. If you have a budget, state it, either way you're going to have a million suggestions.

Outlaw monoblocks

i would like to stay around the 1000 dollar budget or below and i forgot to add that i have a onkyo txnr801 as my receiver. i was thinking about the outlaw monoblocks but something about how skiny they are turns me off.

[cfrizz]

They might be skinny, but they carry a real BIG punch & will make your speakers sing with 200 watts being sent to them!

I should know, I have one driving my center channel! A good bang for the buck option!

Amps last for a good long time. You can go pretty high end with that budget if you are willing to purchase used.

The outlaw amps are nice and a great bang for the buck, but there are benefits to going higher end. You could go with something recent like this Cinnova (way overkill for RTi10's but they will handle any speaker you want to switch to in the future as well....)

For $1000 you could get lot of high-end amps new or used like Classe', Musical Fidelity, Proceed, Bel Canto, Odyssey Densigns etc.... Check out Audiogon for best bang for the bucks amps. Good luck.

Captain,

Grab Russman aragon 2004 and run, plus you will have money left over for more stuff!

quite a bit under your budget but definately a solid amp

[CaptainMurphy]

Ok so i've been looking again and should i get a 3 channel amp so its the same sound coming out of my front 3 if so i was looking at the anthem mca3 which is like 850 so its in my price range.

I vouche for the Cinenova Grande 3 :-)

The outlaw monoblocks should handle your RTis but if you want to switch
to the LSi series ( especially the LSi15s ) and like to listen at close to
reference level, the Cinenova Grande 3 will do a better job...
