Hi all. I'm currently using a single Rotel RB 1070 to amplify a pair of 704's. Because my room is large, I feel I could occasionally use a few more decibels than the amp seems to be able to deliver comfortably.
Because I've only recently bought the amp, I'm not too keen to sell it, but will if it makes more sense. I'm thinking about getting a second 1070 and bi-amping. I don't intend using the "bridged" facility on the amp because of what I've read about the machines self noise in this configuration. Has anyone tried this exact combination? Should I expect significantly higher replay levels, or at least a quality improvement? Or am I better off just getting the bigger RB 1080? Just to be clear, I'm no headbanger, just in search of better quality sound at slightly higher than average levels.
I know this type of debate happens pretty often in the Rotel forum, but I had hoped to hear from B&W owners specifically. Any advise or comments would be appreciated.
