    tube pre for Rotel 1095 into N802

    I'm waiting for the room addition to pull the trigger on the audio/HT upgrade (hurry up dammit!).

    Right now I'm seriously thinking the N802s with Rotel RMB-1095 amp (maybe adding the RB-1090 or Bryston mono blocks for a future upgrade in a couple years) and wondering if anyone has driven the N802 with a (<$3k) tube amp or paired the 1095 with a (<$1.5K) tube preamp for 2 channel. I'm planning on the RSP-1098 or 1068 preamp for HT.

      JazznSoccer,

      I heard the McIntosh Tube Pre-Amp into the B&W 802's last weekend - very nice, musical, almost liquid sounding - but this is above your $2k budget so good luck

          how important is the preamp
          by tboooe
          I was just curious to know how important a preamp is to a high quality stereo only setup? Will getting an expenisve audiophile quality preamp make that much of a difference over a mid-fi preamp? I currently have a parasound p3 preamp and was considering either making a huge step up with either a tube...

          tube preamp with RB 1080 to smooth out the sound?
          by Alex Tang
          I have a Adcom GFP 710 preamp, Rotel RB 1080 power amp, and B&W CDM 9NT speaker. After 2 weeks of listening, although the Adcom + Rotel is much much better than my Denon receiver, I found it is sometimes too bright, and kind of tiring or fatigue to listen to. Also, for the preamp, I can't get...

          by braamman
          Hi All,

          The sound is...

          Turns out I was hooking my Yamaha rxv-2095 up as a preamp correctly. They sold me a dead amp!
          by BKSinAZ
          As most of you know, I just bought a RMB-1095 amp today...new in a sealed box. My first Rotel product. When I took it home, I attempted to hook my Yamaha RXV-2095 receiver up as a preamp to the RMB-1095. I thought I was hooking the Yami up incorrectly, but from reading the post it turns out I was doing...
