I currently own a sunfire preamp tg111 and there 200watt dig amp and to me the sound is a little to laid back (kinda compressed). I heard my speaker at the dealer with a krell setup driving and it sounded great. I wonder if the laid back sound that sunfire gives does't do B&W justice. I guess thats why I don't hear alot of people owning the combo. Anyway I was thinking of going the rotel combo. Do you think it would be worth while?

I think you should try out everything in your house in your listening environment. Especially when thinking something sounded a little more "laid back" at a dealer, chances are the acoustics of the room vastly overpowered any difference between the amps (assuming the power rating is the same and neither was being over-driven). -
I don't have your exact speakers (CDM-7NT's) but I can assure you that the rotel amp makes a good match. I don't feel that the balance is either too laid back, or worse, too bright/forward. Music listening is pure pleasure.

I remember running my laid back speakers with a 80w Onkyo it sounded ok but a bit flat and lacked life. When I added the 1095.. WOW. They really popped (good way) That made all the difference in the world. Speakers like a lot of good clean power to sound their best. IMOComment

The sunfire is rated 200x5 and doubles when impedence drops. But even with that rating it sounds a little flat. My dealer is not very fond of leading out amps. I was hoping to hear of 1095 owners being happy with combo on B&W nautilis.Comment

I am in the market for a new pre/pro, and am considering (in no particular order) the Parasound 7100, the Sunfire TGIV, and the Anthem AVM-30.
A friend of mine heard the Parasound 7100, and he thought the high end was a little too laid back. Has anyone else thought this?

Just purchased the Rotel 1098 with 1095 amp as well as B&W 803,Htm1,scm1. I've set everything up and I'll spear my opinion until its set up right. Naturally I've cali. at 75dbs with sound meter, set proper delays for speaker distances and I'm experiencing something strange. When watching movies... -

Hello All:
I am new to this forum and this is my very first post. I have long been researching various options for upgrading my HT system which is a 4-year old, decent system (combination of Marantz SR-5000 receiver & Infinity Interlude speakers, and Sunfire Mark IV True subwoofer)...18 September 2003, 09:56 Thursday
