Hi all,
I'm driving my B&W 705s (and HTM7) with the rare combination 1068/1075 . However, ever since I bought my Rotel gear I've been fascinated by the RB-1080 (or the RB-1090 for that matter, but that's beyond my budget).
Now I'm thinking about investing in a better stereo system, while keeping my current speakers. Questions I have regarding this matter:
1. Will the jump to the RB-1080 stereo amp make a (noticable) difference, since I will still be using the RSP-1068, which is a HT pre / pro instead of a dedicated stereo pre / pro?
2. Will the RB-1080 be a matter of overkill for my little 705s? (True, future upgrades might include 704s or 804s, but that's not in the near future.)
3. Will the RB-1080 powering my 705s have a negative effect on the front soundstage in HT, since the HTM7 ("which is essentially a 705") will still be driven by the RMB-1075?
4. Are the RB-1080s which offer bi-wiring through extra speaker terminals the latest models (i.e. include minor tweaks and modifications)?
Hope to hear from you.
Thank you!
