    Experience with Advanced Accoustics MAA405 Amp?

    Maybe there is someone here who could help me out. I have Rotel RA-1062 integrated and the RCD-1072 in 2-ch music system. My speakers are old Paradigm Monitor 5 floorstanders, but I'm going to make a switch somewhere down the line. As much as like this setup I think something is missing, and I've been looking around for a poweramp. If I could afford it, I'd buy RB-1080 ot RB-1090 but they're out of my budget.

    Earlier this week I visited a local Hifi-store that sells Advance Acoustic's gear. They have this MAA-405 poweramp that only costs €650. It sounded lovely and it has received a lot of praise in France and Germany. [ the fact that it also looks fantastic is a plus ]

    Now I'd like to buy Rotel, but their products/prices just doesn't seem to match my budget. Of course there's the RB-1070, but I haven't had the chance to test it, so it's (currently) a mystery to me.

    What poweramp you use in your system? Is there anyone here who has the AA MAA-405? All recommendations all welcome!

    Hi,

    I've renamed this and moved here from Club Rotel as:
    A) It is nothing to do with Rotel really
    B) You'll get more reply's here (if anyone does know the amp?)

      Hi Quatermass, welcome to The Guide. :welcome:

      I'm not familiar with this equipment, but I have to say it is elegant looking. I don't believe it's available here in the 'States (from looking at the distributor's list).

        I also discovered Advance Acoustic recently. It was a surprise and for the price they beat Rotel. The different in sound is not huge by when you compare the price with a Rotel amp at the same level, Advance Acoustic take the lead.

        My listening was done using MAP305 model with Monitor Audio Silver RS6.
        Movies: Samsung LCD LE37A557, Rotel RSP-1066 & RMB-1075, Sony PS3, VdH D-102 Hybrid III interc, QED XT-350 & Supra Rondo 4x2,5 speaker cable, QED Qunex P75 coax, Monitor Audio Silver 5i/8i/10i speakers, REL Quake sub, QED Qunex SR-SW subwoofer cable, IXOS XHT458 HDMI, Supra LoRad, Isotek Mini Sub GII;
        Music: Rega Planar 3, Goldring 1042, Vincent PHO-8, Krell KAV-280cd, Krell KAV-400xi, B&W 703, Siltech SQ-28 Classic G5 (XLR), Siltech LS-68 Classic Mk2, Nordost Vishnu, QED Qonduit MDH6.

          Rotel RB-990/ Rotel Michi RHB-05 Poweramp
          by shane2468
          Hello, I'm new here.

          My father has a beautiful Rotel Michi RHB10 poweramp driving his Martin Logan Quest Z speakers. The sound this poweramp produces is soooo beautiful, the midrange, dynamics and power is to die for.

          I'm thinking of looking out either for a Rotel RB-990...

          Connecting Poweramp to Rotel RSX-972
          by Gdbeck
          Just to be on the safe side before I do this.....
          I going to connect my stereo Rotel poweramp up to my Rotel RSX-972 (front speakers only). I have connected the poweramp to the Rotel line out front jacks. My question is this. Since I no longer need amplification from the Rotel front amplifiers...

          Accoustics in a small room with tile flooring.
          by tgrossner
          OK next question. Accoustics: What are some of the tips and tricks to get better sound out of a room that has concrete/ceramic tile flooring? is there something to put down besides carpet or something? Today I was in a home improvement store and found 3x3ft sq "tiles" of a hard rubbery type...

          Speaker Phase and room accoustics?
          by Stevebez
          Well I inadvertantly switched phase on one of my front channels and the bass "hole" in the middle of my room disappeared!

          Its very odd. Normally the phases are such that its push-push and not push pull - the push pull causing the cancelaltions ... so I am a bit confused why...
