B&K Sonata M200 + Polk Rti A9’s


I came across a pair of the B&K Sonata M200 mono blocks for $450 (Canadian). 
I currently have a pair of the Polk Rti A9’s hooked up directly to an AVR (Onkyo 818)
i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these amps and these speakers and can chime in. I know thes speakers are very power hungry and I just don’t know if these amps will be enough. I’ve been holding out for an Emotiva XPA-DR2 which puts out 550wpc. Should I keep holding?

I have a pair of them (+ a single one I use as a center channel). I have had as many as 6 at one time. They are great sounding amps even ignoring the power and current output. I use them to drive Totem Mani 2's which themselves are very power hungry.

At that price you should grab them (assuming they are in good operating condition). Many of them out there are a little dinged up, and some of the older ones are pretty utilitarian looking, but they still sound great and are bullet proof.
