Is there any way you would consider putting off the amp purchase? You would probably get bigger gains by using the money for the amp to move up to the Imagine series if possible and get the amp later.

very true, moving up the line would be best, buy the best you can now, add an amp later... The Onkyo 80X's pull a good amount of power, it could probably do fine until you could save up again for the amp....

Lindsay, Are you looking into anything else other then PSB?
