    Yamaha RX-A800 and Polk RTI A7's. What to do?

    Just found out my Energy C-6's are 92db room efficient. Most "copied" for sale listings show them as being 89db, which is wrong. Upon further searching, I found the proper specifications for the whole line, which explains why they are easier/louder then my A7's at the same power level. I've done...

    Yamaha RX-A800 and Polk RTI A7's. What to do?

    Holy cow my head is going to explode. Yeah I can't play the wall because I hate Pink floyd with a passion. I know their sound is supposed to be fantastic through a good stereo, but they just don't tickle my fancy. I'll play around with the speakers some more when I get some banana plugs. I just...

    Yamaha RX-A800 and Polk RTI A7's. What to do?

    I see what you're saying and how the paperwork says they're decently efficient compared to 87db or less speakers. But it still makes no sense to me. My RTI A3's have a sensitivity of 89db, which is the same as my A7's... The A7's are essentially the same thing as the A3's but with 2 woofers and...

    Yamaha RX-A800 and Polk RTI A7's. What to do?

    Maybe the efficiency is somehow divided by how many speakers there is? Look at the RTI A9's. They have 3 woofers, 2 mids, 1 tweeter and an efficiency of 90db and still demand a big pile of power. Whereas mine is 2 woofers, 1 midrange, and a tweeter with an efficiency of 89db. I know for sure the...

    Yamaha RX-A800 and Polk RTI A7's. What to do?

    The problem with that is that I really enjoy, and collect 7.1 blu-rays and this receiver requires the sacrifice of the rear surrounds for bi amping... I know the newer models of the Yamaha receiver, (starting at the 1020 model) actually allow you to keep your rear surrounds while giving an extra...

    Yamaha RX-A800 and Polk RTI A7's. What to do?

    So upon some further investigating, it seems the simplest way to do this is to completely cancel out my fronts altogether from my receiver and use the front main RCA outputs to power a 2 channel amplifier for the polks without any of the bi/wiring/amping I was originally looking it. Since it...

    Yamaha RX-A800 and Polk RTI A7's. What to do?

    I recently aquired A7's as my front mains. Center A6, surround A3's, and rear surround polk R15's. Everything is great, except I noticed these A7's are very thirsty for juice. I purposely went down from A9's for this reason. However, I do believe (and according to everything I've read on many...
