hey, raj...im new to this forum, but not to others....your reciever will not do any justice to these speakers...for their full potential you are going to need to get a seperate amp....your reciever would be lucky to actually be putting out 80 real watts....my reciever is rated at 130watts a channel..(probably putting out 90 real watts)...and didn't even wake up my RTi12's....the easiest way to kill a speaker is to under power it....as soon as i got my adcoms...WOW...i have a speaker that is everything i want in a speaker...you could get by with just your receiver for now, but your not even close to letting the polks get to their potential
