Hello,
I'm a newcomer to the world of home theatre. I puchased the Onkyo SR HT800 htib. Since then, I have been planning on how to upgrade it. My first upgrade was purchasing 2 Polk R50's for $70 ea. These are my current L/R speakers, but will be moved to my surrounds in the near future. I plan on getting a csi5 center, and 2 rti8's for my L/R. I hope that my reciever will give plenty of power to these, because I'm not ready to get a processor and amps any time soon. I think that the receiver is capable of 44 Watts minimum continuous power to 5 channels at 8 ohms. That would be enough for casual listening, right?
