A quick question for someone willing to answer. Wanting to upgrade slightly but can't decide. Now I'm running adcom 565 pre amp, adcom 555II amp and infinity kappa 9's. What would be the better choice: Two adcom 565 monoblocks or a Rotel RB 1090? any help?

My sense is that Adcom is slightly warmer than Rotel. I prefer Rotel. -
Personally, I don't think you will find much, if any sonic improvement with either choice. There are upgrades and then there are minor changes to one's system. What you are considering is more along the lines of a change but, not really an upgrade. Just a change for the sake of changing.
If you are really itching to upgrade, give us a complete rundown of your system, what you want to hear different, and what your financial resources are. The members here may be able to save you from wasting those resources. God knows, I spent a fortune learning by trial and error and have a pretty good idea what matters and what doesn't.
Better to really know what you are trying to achieve than to experiment with random changing of components.Comment

I agree with Bob, but if memory serves me right aren't the Kappa 9's bi-amp capable ?? Regardless, knowing what your budget is would help, but given your two choices you mentioned, I would take the mono block set-up with the Adcom over the Rotel. I owned a 1090 and while it was OK for the $$ spent, namely because of being built in China, there are better choices if your funds allow.Dave
