    1095 and 1075 questions

    Hi,

    I'm a first-time Rotel buyer and am doing a demo of the 1067 at home right now. I'm trying to decide if I should go up to the separates instead. I can't wait to get all my stuff setup.

    I have a couple 1075/1095 questions. Do they use the WBT style binding posts? The 1067 I'm demoing now has those, and I really like them - but the demos of the amps that my dealer had on-hand had standard binding posts. Maybe the demos my dealer is using are older versions? Also, are they bi-wireable on the amp side using 2 separate runs of cable? Right now I use a more common bi-wire setup - where the speaker cable is standard on the amp side and bi-wire on the speaker side. If it's possible on the amp side, is there any real improvement on using 2 separate cable runs vs the normal single cable bi-wire?

    Thanks for taking the time to read!

    RJ

      Nothing a little bit of (internet)research can't fix...

          IMO separates are the only way to go. Get a good amp and you'll never have to upgrade, unless you have the upgrade bug. But processors change all the time.

          This is a picture of an rb1080. The type of binding posts on this are the same as the current 1095. I just got my 1095 2 weeks ago and they are identical.

          As you can see with the 1080, you can run 2 completely separate cables from the amp to the speakers. The 1075/1095 doesn't have that option. I'm using MIT biwire cables from my 1095 to my def techs. I don't think you would notice any difference between 1 run of a good biwire cable and 2 runs of cable. I didn't.

                  IMO - there really is not that big a difference between the old binding post and the new ones. In fact, if you have cables with spades, then I prefer the old ones, as you can use a wrench to ensure that they are firmly connected - you cant do that on the new ones..
                  But the newer ones look better - but since it is on the back, then really who cares..

                      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...

                      HELP!! RMB-1095 amp & Cable TV
                      by vswells
                      I have just spent a small fortune on my first surround sound system. I have the Rotel RMB-1095 amp with a RSP-1066 processor. I have been told by the guy who sold me the processor that I cannot use this powerful amp with cable TV. Whenever there is ANY connection between my processor and TV, or processor...

                      Long speaker cable v's long RCA's ?
                      by Stev
                      I am going to puchase a RB 1070 or 1080 to run the mains from my RSX 1056. I have the 1056 about 15 meters from the mains - so I can run 15 m of biwire speaker cable from the amp or put the amp close to the speakers - say 2-3m and run long rca's from the 1056 to the amp. Which would be the best option...

Thank you. I apologize in advance for the length of this message. I have looked through a lot of the other threads but...
