I am running a Yamaha RXV-871 (similar to your Onkyo), a UPA-200,and UPA-500. I am also running large floor standing polk audio rti-a7's similar to yours. What I can tell you is that while my yamaha on its own was doing the job it was working vary hard to do so. The large speakers are vary demanding. The Emotiva amps are easily achieving that level of performance and more with little to no effort. As for weather or not it will rock your room; I haven't had the nerve to push it that far. Although I suspect the speakers will give up before the amps do!!!

it should sound pretty good. I prefer tower speakers and a sub but it's a good start. I am very satisfied with the receiver.

Right now I am using a Pioneer VSX-1120 that powers all my speakers,I am running the JBL in front,bose center, and sony front ,side and rear a total of 9. I also have run my Onkyo TRSX-705 . I did like the Onkyo but it is only a 7-1 hookup THX. I will probably be selling that one due to I have a RCA to. The JBL'S are good for Bi-amp.They sound real good with plenty of base for the action movies or listening to music. Let me know if you need any more advice. Remember to use a heavy gauge wire.

I use mine as a center channel speaker with mixed bag surround system. It would be best to use some type of amp.

I've been looking into this for a few weeks now and decided to take the plunge. I have heard such good things about it and can't wait for it to arrive tomorrow. I'm only hooking up to it a PS3, my 42" plasma, and my Verizon FIOS box. I can't wait to use it with my new Polk Audio TSI 400s and 200 speakers. How is Polk's audio quality? It must be pretty good since you are still using your antique Polk speakers.

i think it would be a great match for the infinity's. I have mine hooked up to a set of polk db6501's and they get pushed great with everything set far below the max punch eq just below1/2 and gains on front and rear at about 5. this give's me more then enough power to have clean load listening over my jl 12 w6. and your infinity's should handle the mid's a lot better then my polk db6501. my amp also came rated at 522w rms so @4ohms 97w rms @2ohms 130w rms and 261 x 2 @4ohms. hope this helps

I have an Onkyo 6.1-channel 3d bluetooth soundbar w/subwoofer paired with my 55GA7900. My room is slightly smaller than yours (by 2 ft, at the most), and that sound bar FILLS the room with sound. I was a little hesitant to even purchase a sound-bar at first considering I'm so used to the traditional 5.1 set up with the actual 5 speakers, but when they say 6.1, that's no joke, truly does a fantastic job of re-creating a true 6.1 surround experience. Subwoofer kicks major bass, it's adjustable (which not all sound-bar subs are), and it's wireless, which is a major plus. I would strongly recommend that one.

This amp will rock for what you have planned. You should be able to run 2 bookshelf 6" speakers no problem.

It is a very good center speaker and has very good dispersion. Can stand off to the side and it sounds like you are in front of it. Should work just fine.It is the main speaker for my home theater system and it really performs well.

I would think so. Since they are rated at 89-90 for sensitivity and have 8 ohm impedance the Emotiva should drive them with ease. They drive my PSB Synchrony 1bs with a 2c center channel flawlessly, and those are not as sensitive as the Polks and are rated at 4-6 ohms.

Yes it is a very good price performer with no noticeable noise. I have an old Lexicon preamp driving 7 mono amps for my home theater. I use this to drive a set of AR powered monitor speakers in the kitchen and the system sounds as good at low volume.

I've run this set on Onkyo 5.1 100 watt per channel receivers and they have performed very well. As with most speakers over powering is not the problem. Distortion kills speakers plain and simple. Playing at a volume level that causes distortion does the speaker in. The more clean power you have the more clean volume you have to use. Better quality receiver less distortion you should have.

I used to connect these speakers to my 5 year old Onkyo receiver TX-SR606 (90W per channel). It's more than adequate and loud enough. Last year, I upgraded my receiver to Onkyo 818 last that have pre out capability (you need Onkyo 7 series or above to connect your receiver to external amplifier) and use Emotiva XPA-5 amplifier. It's worth the upgrade. Sounds great especially with 24-bit uncompressed recording. It really makes you listen to your old collection once again.

Absolutely. This amp will easily drive rated output to 200 WPC on each channel, all driven. It has been my experience with Polk speakers is that their load is not overly difficult to drive. With well designed and built cables, this combination should yield a system that will show little sonic change as you crank it up (sounds just as good at relatively high volumes as it does at low volumes).

i have this amp on all 4 of my polk db6501 and they sound great it will take a little bit of tuning but if you know what your doing it will be easy. my birth sheet also shows that the amp rated 522 watts.

I have a 200X5 powering my center front and high speakers, with the UPA-500 powering the rear and rear side channels. It does take a little bit of adjustment w/in your receiver to balance the levels, but my system sounds great. Hope this helps.

This amp should be more than enough. I have 2 polk db 12 on mine and my friend has 2 p3d2-12 on his.
