So what power amps do you have hooked up to your 1066's?

[Danbry39]

Mine is hooked up to a Parasound 1205A. The Rotel/Parasound combo does wonders for my Klipsch Reference speakers. Nothing stringent or fatiguing at all right now, as was the case when I was using an Onkyo receiver to drive my Klipsches. I expect this will only get better when my Magenta ADE-24 digital sound processor arrives. So, what amps do you use? And, how well does your amp mate with the 1066?

I have a Rotel RMB 1066, 6x60W. Oddly enough it matches the RSP quite well ...

[Andrew Pratt]

presently using two HKPA5800 5 channel amps.

[KevinE]

I'm using a RB-1080 and a RB-993. They sound awsome together :!:

[Brent]

I have mine hooked up to a RB985 MK 1 5x100 and plan on purchasing the 1095 this spring to add on.

[JKohn]

I'm using the Outlaw Model 770. It's a very neutral-souding amp, pairs well with the 1066 IMHO.

I have a 1075 driving two Infinity Kappa 7.1 Series 2 (mains), B&W CDMCNT centre, and another pair of Infinity Kappa 7.1 Series 2 surrounds.

Hooked up with an Rotel RMB-1095 and NAD 2700...

[JerryIII]

I am running:
(1) Parasound HCA 2003A (220x3 @ 8 ohms)
(2) Parasound HCA 1000A (125x2 @ 8 ohms)
(1) Samson S1000 (500x2 @ 4 ohms for subs)

The Parasound/Rotel combo sounds great with my NHT speakers.

I have a Rotel RMB-1075 driving Vienna Acoustics Mozarts up front, Maestro in the center, and Haydns in the rear. It's a great combo!

Cheers!

I'm using a silver RMB-1095 and a silver RB-1050 (for 2 back centers). With a silver Rotel RSP-1066, I have to wear sunglasses against flash of lights on the shiny silver... 8)

I think I'm what you could call a Rotel fanboy... :B

[Danbry39]

I love seeing what others have for equipment. I guess I go into a fantasy zone where I try to imagine the sounds that come out of different systems, so thanks for the replies and stimulating my imagination. :P

Rotel 1095, driving B&W CDM 9nt's/ 3 B&W LCR6s2

RMB-1075 driving B&W Nautilus 804s & HTM center

[MarkH]

My 1066 runs thru Marantz monoblocks. MA-700's -200wpc- for the fronts & center, and MA-6100's -125wpc- for the surrounds & 2 rear centers. To me, this combo sounds great (neutral) with slightly forward Paradigm speakers.

Mark

[Trevor_J]

I'm currently running a Marantz MM9000 which is 150x5.

[Gary Press]

As with Trevor, I'm using the Marantz MM9000. Mine is connected to 5, NHT Super Ones. The Rotel feeds a Velodyne HGS-12 subwoofer.

Extremely pleased with the sound. The Marantz can be found for a little less than $1,000. It's a steal, as is the Rotel RSP-1066.

They go very well together. Also, the Marantz runs very cool.

Gary Press

[Kevin D]

Well, I can tell you what I WILL have connected.. I was running a RSP-985 to a black 1095 for about a year now with only CDM-9's in the front (I know, complete waste of 3 channels). I sold the 985 last week and as soon as I sell the black 1095 I'll be ready to order the 1066 in silver with a SILVER 1095 running the main speakers and a silver RMB-1066 with two bridged pairs running the center back speakers with the remaining 2 channels powering multi-room speakers.

And instead of finishing out with the CDM series, I'm probably going to sell the CDM9's and go with N804's front, N805's rear, HTM1 center, and Signature 7 inwall center backs.

An no I'm not crazy with too much money. Our company is a Rotel/B&W dealer so once a year I get to upgrade for a pretty good price..

Glad to find a Rotel club,

Thanks,

Kevin D.

[Dalton]

I have the Rotel RB981 (130x2 @8ohms) and the RMB 1075(120x5 @8ohms). This powers Klipsch reference series RF5's, RC7 up front and KSF 8.5's(sides), RB3's(backs).

[DrumTemp]

RMB-1075 powering Paradigm Reference speakers all 'round. Really happy with this combination.

[Curtis Douglas]

I have a silver 1095 powering B&W's a pair 604's(mains), an LCR600(center channel), 602's (surrounds).
Man this I guess I am just really proud of my system, but it rocks ass.

[Nicholas Renter]

RMB-1095....I've really enjoyed this amp. Especially matched with B&W speakers (I've got the Nautilus 805s all the way around).

[nahoj]

My RSP-1066 is joined by RMB-1095 and RB-1070.
And I feed them from a RDV-1080, the picture shows with an Sony VPL-VW10HT.

[fyonn]

I've got a sony TA-N9000es 5 channel power amp hooked up to my 1066, sounds pretty good to me. I'm looking for some cheapo second hand amp to use to power a pair of centre back's soon. nothing too expensive but I might as well round out the 7.1 channels...

dave

[Danbry39]

I've been thinking about getting an additional monoblock or 2-channel myself to make my system 6.1 or 7.1, but I'm not in that much of a hurry as I use my Rotel/Parasound in my bedroom and there's no urgent need. Still, it's always in the back of my mind. Maybe another Parasound, or perhaps a Rotel or the new Outlaw monoblock, which, if memory serves, is very streamlined looking and will run about $299 for 200 watts/channel.

I used to be able to lift what your amp weighs, but now I can barely lift my amps weight, 48 pounds. :roll:

Sayer's Web,

LOL! :LOL:

When it arrived I was the only one home and was dermined to lift it to the top of my compnent rack which is about chest high. The last 6 inches or so were the worst and it took me about 45 seconds, plenty of gasping, and a little yelling to finally get one corner high enough to rest on top.....

It's amazing what we will go through for a little multimedia enjoyment!

My 1066 is hooked up with a 1070 for my JBL TI-5000, and an 985MKII drives the rears and surrounds (all JBL XTI).

I'm looking for a second 1070, for bi-amping the fronts.

I only ordered my 1066 on Sunday (it'll take one week to arrive), but I'll chime in! I may be alone on this one, but here goes...

Odyssey Stratos (150W x 2) for the fronts
5 Marantz MA500 monoblocks (125W each) for the other channels

[oerjan]

I’m using a RMB-1075, and will soon be upgrading to 7.1, then I think a RB-1080 will drive the front speakers, or maybe another RMB-1075 and Bi-amping?
But I’m not sure. Any considerations?

The speakers are:
Mirage OM-9 Maybe I upgrade these for the OM-7 in a while.
Mirage OM-C2
Mirage OM-R2
Mirage OM-200
