I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, I am open to $200-$1000 suggestions.
Plan on buying it after I get another job, right now im looking.
I might try running 11ch with my onkyo 818. need atleast a 5ch amp.
I liked the XPA-7 but it was $500 above what Im willing to spend. Perhaps I could look into a used one.
Yeah makes me wonder if I also need more expensive speakers, I do like the sound of klipsch Icon for movies though. It is the lower end of klipsch line.
speakers is definitely the biggest improvement but if you dont have enough power to play the speakers without distortion its no advantage. your 818 has a beefy amp section but it wont do more than about 80watts all channels driven.
I'd suggest you consider used, not a lot of stuff to wear out and you can find great deals on very nice amps. Could get an Acurus A125, Parasound HCA-855A, or Anthem MCA-5 for $400 - $500 for example.
Front heights, Icon bookshelves of same trim line. Front heights , I may switch to wides for my room type.
Surrounds are vintage RTR exp9 w/ upgraded goldwood woofers.
Pioneers were my 9th ch rear surrounds, but aren't being ran right now.
