So my speakers are going to be here on monday which I am so excited about. I have just one more question. Would an onkyo integra dtr 9.9 be overkill for the epic grand master 500 speakers? My onkyo rep said it is underated at 145w/channel. I have the ability to purchase direct from onkyo at 20% below dealer cost so I can get it for an excellent price. Just wondering if it is worth it?

Overkill? Certainly not. Keep in mind that a speakers biggest enemy is being run with too little power, or cheap amps that distort the signal. The M22's are rated at 200 watts, and the DTR 9.9 is rated at 145 watts, but in most recievers that only means 1 channel driven, not all 7. So you should be well within the speakers limits. The fact that you're looking at buying a reciever that costs more than your entire HT system is a bit unusual... but hey, whatever works for you bubba.
Monday is the day eh? Sweet, can't wait to hear your impressions!

Not overkill at all. Very nice piece of equipment in fact.
