Amp Advice Needed...

[classicalnut]

So I'm upgrading my system components and getting rid of my Teac AG-H550 in favor of MSB Gold Link DAC, MSB Digital Director, and MSB MVC-1 (multi-volume control). Currently I have a Rotel RB-1070 powering a pair of B&W 603 s3 with my old pair of 602 s2 powered by the teac for rears.

So I was thinking about a RB-1050 for the rears. And then it occured to me to look at a better amp for the fronts and put the 1070 on the rear. My current thought is a pair of RB-980BX's in mono for the fronts.

Any thoughts on this? Better suggestions?

Thanks,

Neil

That would work or just get the 1080 and call it a day. I really love my 1080 amp

Rb 980 Bx

I have three RB 980 BX for front left, right, center running in passive bi-amp. That's 120 wpc each to top and bottom. Running these amps in mono will give you 3 times the power (360 amps) with slightly higher distortion and a bit more noise. I prefer using these bi-amped. See thread here http://www.htguide.com/forum/showthr...highlight=mono

I agree with Andrew...the 1080 would work great, too.
