I have just upgraded to the CA5300. Previously i was using a Rotel Rb1090 and RMB1095 combination. I have 802D's and a HTM1D in the front. I must say the sound is quite different to the Rotel. There is certainly a lot more low level detail and in all the sound is maybe "cleaner". That said and done i enjoyed the warmer midrange from the Rotel. Maybe it needs a bit longer to run in as i only have about 30 hours on the amp.
Now i need a few ideas or different thoughts. Ultimately i want to get an 801D, however the dealer is offering me a really sweet deal on a new 800Di.
With this in mind i am considering the CA2300 to compliment my CA5300. However it will mean i need to get a CA2100 as i have 9 speakers in my surround set up.
The other option i am considering is getting is another CA5300 and it would then be same and equal power across all the speakers.
One concern i have is the CA5300 not being rated into 4Ohm's. Thus far i have not had a problem, but it may become apparent when going to the 800Di's or 801D's. I have been a little hesitant to really crank it up just in case the unit goes into protection. I did get an email from Dave Nauber via my dealer addressing these issues, but im not totally convinced as the amplifier is specifically designed to go into protect mode if the current draw gets too high into 4 ohm's.
At this stage the CAM300 or 600's are not an option.
Any ideas guys about what i may be overlooking ?
