    June,

    I had P5's before upgrading to N804's. They were powered by a Rotel 1095. Very nice combo. A Rotel 1075 ($999 list) would be a good place to start. Very good power, build, performance and value. A 1095 ($1999) would be even more powerful (however, it is a big, heavy beast). If you have the funds, I would suggest the new 1077 ($2499). I just got one and it is excellent. Beside sounding great, it is small and runs relatively cool. You could bi-amp the P6's mains and stil have three channels for your center and rears. That might be fun.

    Hope this helps.

      Hello all,

      I'm a new ( and happy ) rotel user for over two months now. 1066 + 1095 feeding a pair of b&w n804 as mains, htm1 as centre and 2x705 as rears. To say that I'm enchanted with the system's performance is an understatement !
      I found a buzz/hiss problem with the 1095...

      Got my 1095 today

      G'day,

      Finally traded in my RMB-1075 for an RMB-1095. Matched with an RSP-1068 pre/pro and an RCD-1072 CD player.

      I was alternating between the 1095, or keeping the 1075 and adding an RB-1080. I chose the 1095 because (a) it's better to have too much power than not enough...

      What's better to push the mains, RMB-1095 or RB-1080?
      by PewterTA
      Okay, I'm looking for a little bit of help here...

      I have both the 1095 and 1080 and am trying to figure out which one I want to push my mains (B&W DM604 S3s). Right now I have the RMB-1095 since I haven't gotten my 1080 back off my friend (he's using it for right now until his amp...

      Rotel RMB 1095 & B&W DM604s - Overkill?
      by PewterTA
      I'm curious on all your opinions if getting the RMB-1095 is too much for my speakers.

      Right now I have a Yamaha RX-v1400 running a B&W DM604 S3/LCR600/DM602 S3 with a SVS PC+20-39 sub. I'm upgrading the sub when I get a chance to the SVS PB12-Ultra/2...which was next... However,...

      1 x RMB-1095 vs 3 x RB-1080?
      by hired goon
      G'day,

      I've currently got an RMB-1095 5x200w amp, about 2 weeks old. For a few hundred dollars, I can trade this in to get 3 x RB-1080 2x200w amps.

      I'm wondering about the advantages and disadvantages of such a move.

      This is what I've come up with:
