wow so it doesn't look good, the fellow hasn't contacted me so I think I missed[:'(] Oh well I'll keep looking....

Most assuredly all efforts to buy said speakers are in progress right now thanks guys I will let you know how it goes.

I had my heart set on rf-83s but this seems like a great deal . The guy thats selling them hates the harshness. I am assuming he is using a crappy system and doesnt know it, as I have read that rf-7's have a more refined taste in amplifiers and wires. Someone please push me off the fence is this a steal or average?

Well I have been trying to decide what to buy for months and I havent heard anything bad about a conquest yet and after getting to see a REAL picture of a Conquest i could wait a long time to get one....its beautiful *sniffle* Size is really not an issue for me, I like big stuff it will blend in nicely with my rf-83's. I know the epik site is very spartan at best but at thtis price range they probably cant afford much more

Very nice. I think that your little $1100 upa/xpa combo sounds absolutely awesome! I will be keeping my eyes peeled for that.[]

Ah then the xpa's are for me! By the way when will the upa-2 be available and what is the price.

Thats awesome man! Hooray for debt freeness so we can buy more Home theater stuff.I currenlt own two houses and both are for sale and whichever one sells I will be debt free at that point. So now I just have to wait for the market to come back. Hey anyone wanna buy yourself a camp on 17 acres of beautiful Maine woods with a stream and moose and deer and everything? I will cost about the same as some of the theaters in the gallery! lol

Cool man thanks the mps-2 has the monoblock design so i will go with that when i get the cash. Dave ramsey is sitting here on my shoulder lol.

Is there any particular reason not to get the mps-2? It has a supposedly more efficient class h powersupply and its 100 bucks less than the combo of the other two. The only thing you would lose is 50 watts a peice on the front two channels, At 250 rms 200 watts should be plenty much for the rf-83s. Yea these amps do have a pretty mint price range.

Wow freakin wow those are by far the best amps I have seen in my price range youthman thanks a zillion I think I will get those for sure!

Or maybe someone has some suggestions for 1000 and 2000 7 channel amps[]

Hey guys i was wondering if this amp has enough nads to properly run rf-83s I would rather spent $1000 bucks than $1900 on the 7200 but If it ain't worth it let me know.

Hmmm thats just the kind of just the stuff i was wondering, thanks man

is this a waste of time? i am using the sf-1's for my mains right now and i will be way freakin upgrading to rf-83's sometime soon. i was thinking about buying another set of them to complete my 7.1 setup along with the rc-64 center. My primary use is not music but hometheater/movies so timbre matching and all that stuff shouldnt be much of an issue right? I bought this set of mint sf-1s for 130 bucks so that was pretty sweet.Are they a suitable replacement for thers-62's

Thanks for that man. I have an integra dealer about 100 miles from here so I may end up with one as well as it will probably end up being cheaper for me as well. It might be a while before I get one though as money is slightly tight these days. Maybe congress can pass another tax bill soon to relieve me of the rest of my money and redistribute for me.

Hey I guess im gonna pass on them. Im buying a motorcycle instead. hehe. I know you dont like Ebay but I looked up my records and I sold the same set of sattelites for 150 bucks....just a thought. Anyways good luck selling.

Hey thanks a ton. I will let you know by this weekend.

Yea thats not a bad deal. At least I dont think so. You want to trade it for some Star Wars books I have lots of those. LOL Ill see if I can scrape it up if someone else dont get em first.

Whats the going price? I was using a set of these on my paltry home theater system and I sold them a while back when I was hard up for dough.

Can you list the better components? I guess that is why I started this thread so I could find out if there was any difference at all between the two. As for all of the other av forums I have personally read I have seen no indication of any difference in component manufacture because the two brands are made by the same company. Its like a GMC to a Chevy,same truck different name. Also why is a product better if you can only get it online. Luckily for me I have an Integra dealer only two hours from my house so it wouldnt kill me to get one but quite frankly I like the looks of the onkyo pro better because of the cover that gives it a cleaner look and the plugs on the front are gold not silver. I guess its just preference. A detailed list of component difference if any or whatever would be swell.

For the most part I have not found any difference in the actual construction of the two units. The only thing is the large silver knob on the integra. You should check out the aforementioned link as it provided all of my info. I think that the Onkyo Pro is prettier. and like I said I have found it for cheaper too. Like 1400 bucks

Generally I have found that the onkyo will sell for 200 to 300 cheaper. But I also like the look of the onkyo better. Retail is cheaper I think but Ebay prices are ridiculous as usual.

From what I could tell on the over 9000 post thread on AVS forum there is absolutely no difference between the two except for cosmetics. Thanks a ton for the pointer.

I see alot of the onkyopro PR-SC885Ps for 300 to 400 bucks less than the Integra dtc 9.8 is there any difference really besides the name and the color of the knobs? So if I by the onkyo am I really missing out on something or what.

If I were you, I would save up and buy the 83's it is sooooooo worth the wait. Besides paying for it with cash you saved is so much more satisfying. Believe me the speakers even sound better. And my wife and I have a little system going on. We call it blackmail money. If I spend 1000.00 I have to spend the same amount on her. Oh well everything is twice as expensive but there is no beef from the old lady either...Ahhhhhh refreshing.
