I just got myself to get a Rotel 1056 receiver. Stepped up from a Yamaha RX-V750 receiver. Heard a Big jump in sound quality. What do you think? Anyway.. I have a couple of questions about adding a 2 channel amp to my Rotel 1056. I had originally thought about adding a Rotel RB-1070 but reading from some of the posts in the club Rotel forum, it seems like the RB-1080 is more favoured. Can you explain why is that? Also, by adding the 1080, wouldn't I be raising the volume level of the two front speakers ( B&W 602 s3's ) in a ht setup, thus throwing the system out of balance? Would the RB-1080 be too powerful for the B&W 602 s3's? What do you think?
The reason I got my self to work up to the Rotel / B&W setup is that I love quality sound ( what I can afford) Is adding the RB-1080 for 2 channel stereo + sub listening and HT going to give significant improvement in sound quality over the Rotel 1056's own amps? What about the RB-1070 as a match for Rotel 1056 and B&W 602 s3's?
Thanks for reading and I would appreciate any advice you may have.
