Can a McIntosh MC7205 handle Polk Audio RTi A9’s?

If you want to hear the speakers playing the 120w per channel is fine.....But if you wanna feeel the music and be THERE at the event you will need more power, these speakers are rated at 90db sensitivity and I suspect even with their nominal 8ohm rating these will suck power! I recommend at least 300-400 watts per channel driving 8ohms.
ALSO, you have a multi channel amp that could be configured in a different way combining channels to output more power to two channels instead of 5. I owned a MC7104 4- channel amp and I could easily set it up for 2 channel and the power would go from 100wx4 to 300wx2 so check it out.

Those RTI-a-9s’ are amazing speakers, heard a pair at a local shop while ago.
They will need minimum of 300WPC/RMS. TO SOUND their best!

i went another route, I often wonder how they would sound in my home.

Went with the Energy RC-70s’
happy.
but still wonder, I love the subdued treble of these Energys’
Enjoy the RTI-A9s’

et 300 WPC min.  

You can bi-amp also, just have an extra rail left over. 120 for Bass might be a little light. Could also add a passive pre to adjust, the highs via RCA, XLR, IC. It's a Mac, those numbers are VERY conservative... 120 @ 8, for the lows, 120 @ 8 for the highs....Might work great...

Thanks for all the advice. I read where the 7205 can’t be bridged, but how would I bi-amp them?  I guess I got myself in a pickle. I upgraded from a McIntosh MC58 bridged to 100w/ch that was powering a pair of TSi 500’s and I have to turn up the volume to half the power in HT tv to hear it. On music I notice the TSi 500’s don’t come alive until I turn the volume on the mc58 half way. I’m afraid it’ll be the same or worse with the MC 7205 and the Polk A9’s.
