Can anyone tell me any comparisons as far as the better amps between these three.I looking to get 2 or 3 channel amp in the 120-200 watt range.Are they warm,bright etc.They would be added to a rotel rsx1056 to power b&w 603s3's and lcr600.

youll get a thousand different responses. I had rotel amps and have high regards for them, but Parasound now holds the #1 spot in my heart :T
cant say anything about adcom. -
In adding amp to 1056, don't bother with 120 watt range as you notice much difference and could be worse depending on amp. I had, for a couple nights, added a 1070 (130x2) to a Rotel 1056 and the difference was not great, better but not worth the cost of adding the amp. Depends on what you are looking for, more umph? better 2 channel sound?... I'd consider a Rotel 1080, Bryston 4B (st/sst) used, Halo A21 etc. Not sure what the budget is. Not familiar with Adcom sound.Comment

Thanks for the advice.I'll be using for ht/tv as well as music.So would a 1080 provide me w/ significant upgrade for HT as well as music or could i be looking for a 3 channel amp(rb993 if i can find one) for this purpose.Or would a 5channel be even better.Just so your aware i listen 75-80 % ht/tv the rest music but sometimes i get carried away and will listen to music 2 channel and dts for hours on any given weekend.No sacd or dvd-a for now.Comment

Depending on your setup and budget, you could get varied responses/results. Rotel & Parasound are great amps; don't know much about the newer Adcoms (had one a long time ago and it was just 'o.k.'). I think you'd do very well with either. There are others that would do you well too. One question is, what budget do you have for yourself on this? That may limit what amp you can afford to purchase then from there, a determination could be made as to whether there'd be any gain in performance.

My budget would probably be 500-700 which is why i'll be looking for used.I would like to stay with the rotel sound so obviously i would like a rotel amp.Dont get me wrong i like how it sounds now with just the receiver but if adding an amp would make it significantly better that's what i would like to do.I'm in no hurry per se but would like to have decision made when i'm ready to get or not get an amp.I just dont know how many channels i should get 2,3 or 5.Maybe it will come down to whats the best i can afford.Comment

If you can spare a couple hundred more then look into the NAD S250 from www.saturdayaudio.com. Top notch unit.Originally posted by rick c

What's the difference between Rotel 1067 and 1056 + RB 1070 (mains redirected to provide 7.1 setup)? The 1067 would have more power all around but the 1056/1070 would give more and I would think better power to the mains. There's about a $200 price difference I think - so what else am I missing in... -
Well, my family and I are finally going to just take the plunge and buy the RSX-1056 receiver tonight!
We are all actually extremely worried about all the RSX-1056 quality-control issues we've read so much about here in these forums (i.e. hiss, pops/clicks, video dropouts, remote control... -
I've been lurking around here for a bit and this is my first post. I just made the plunge on my first rotel components, RSX 1056 and RDV 1050. All i can say is holy s*** i should have made the leap a long time ago. My new 1056 has no bad issues in terms of what i heard on the boards.

Hello,
After reading the forum for many months, I'm finally posting here for the first time. I have just upgraded the front L/R/C speakers of my HT to Dynaudio Audience 52SE's and 42C. I also have 3 small surround satellites and a subwoofer (6.1 system). I live abroad and will take advantage...
