ATI 1807 VS rotel 1075/1080

[ccespedes]

I need your help:

I can't decide between the ATI 1807 and the rotel 1075(5ch)+1080(2ch).

Those two amps will sound very different from each other. Is there any way you can audition both? What speakers do you run?

I have an ATI 1806 with an RSP-1068. I listened to the 1075 before purchasing the ATI and did like the sound. The ATI 1800 series compared to the 1075 is not a fair comparison though and would be better compared to the 1095. I suggest listening to both. The ATI's are brighter than the Rotel's. I like both and ultimately purchased the ATI because I could get a 6 channel configuration and the ability to add the 7th channel in the future if I wanted.

I have JMLab 716 and 700 in front and 706 rear and surround.

Many feel that Amps "amplify" power and the difference you hear is your speakers response to the presence of more or less power.
