I did it.

After almost two years of waiting I ordered the 990/7500 combo. At the current pricing and no freight how could you pass it up? As a bonus I added the LFM-1 EX.
I hope Gonk is ready for a new barrage of questions. I have been reading this forum for quite some time now so I know of a lot the "quirks" the 990 has but I am sure I can come up with something new. Can't wait.

Let us know how those RTi10's sound with the new setup. I've got the 12's and have been thinking about ditching my Onkyo for the 7500 or the 7700.

Actually I am driving the RTi10's with the two Outlaw 2200 M-blocks and they sound fantastic! The 7500 will drive my CSi5 center channel and the surrounds for now. I fully intend to switch things around later just for comparison. I will let you know what the RTi10's sound like with the 7500 when I try that configuration.
