from this forum and others I have been informed that B&W's need a lot of power to drive them efficiently so my question is the RB 1080(200watts) enough to drive 803S.
803S powered by Rotel RB 1080

Originally posted by JetFlyGuyI was also very impressed with the noise floor improvement I saw when I went to balanced connections. (I ran the Classe' gear with RCAs at first for a comparison)
Another thing preventing me from going balanced is I'm a huge fan of MF CD players and they are all single ended (British companies seem not to like balanced connections for some reason)... if I went balanced, the logical CD player choice is the CDP-100, but I just upgraded to the MF A5 and can't see myself going to the Classe CD player any time soon.- Bottom

If you live in the UK, you may want to opt for the Strata 5 or Storm 5. Those models are not available in North America because Sumiko decided to import their own crappy Britannia series... which put out a ton of bass for HT, but not of the same audiophile quality REL is known for. The Britannia series gives REL a bad name. Rebel! Don't buy the Britannia! Make Sumiko import the Strata 5 and Storm 5!- Bottom
