Hello All:
I am planning on upgrading the front left/right speakers in my HT setup with Magnepan MG 1.6/QR speakers. Also as part of the upgrade, I will be getting the Rotel RSP-1098 processor and RMB-1095 or 1075 5-channel amplifier. I have two questions at this point:
(i) Is there anyone out there that uses the Maggies in conjunction with a Rotel amplifier. Is the RMB-1095 or RMB-1075 capable of driving the Magnepans without clipping at peak loads. Because, the Magnepans are a 4-ohm load and have the reputation of being very power hungry.
(ii) The second question is related more to loudspeaker matching. I am not planning on getting Magnepan's Center Speaker due to budget restrictions. I was wondering if I would be able to match up them with my existing Infinity Interlude Center. Often times, a lot is said about how the speakers in the HT system should all match up well together. But, I was wondering if, given all bass management that can be done from advanced processors like the 1098, it matters that much at all.
Thanks in advance for any insights.
