I want to set up a 2ch system contains RMB 1080 amp, RC 1090 pre-amp and RCD 1070 cd players. The dealer that I used to go doesn't have the pre-amp and cd player for demo. I want to know if anyone has any experience/comment on this system, particularly the pre-amp and cd player. Thank you!

When I went to audition my current JM-lab electra 906 speakers, I listend to this combo.
The rcd-1070 is an excellent machine. Compared to my rcd975 it is stunning. Only to be beaten by the rcd-991. Sound is informative, detailed and very spacious. The build is excellent and the remote a bit cheap but that goes for most of current players. the 1070 got 5 star value from "what hifi". the 1072 got 4 stars.
The rc-1090 is simply stunning, but so is the price. The soundstage is very deep and wide. It is easy to listen to for many hours. I like it a lot, if only it would not cost so mutch.
I would go for the rb-1080 as a combo. Somehow I find the 1070 a bit bright, and even perhaps harsh on higher volume. Definately different from my rb-981, wich I like better.
My Jm-labs electra are very revealing, so the 981 is a better match than the 1070. The 1080 sounds better, and has twice the power. But of course costs more.

OK, so here is my attempt to break down the RC-1090, the RC-1070 and the Bryston BP-25; I am no expert, so take this for what it is worth, and as always, listen for yourself….
Two weeks ago I did a listen to three Pre-Amps, the RC-1070, the Bryston BP-25 and a VTL two-channel pre.... -
Hi, I am buying the Rotel RB-1090 amp and trying to decide which Pre-Amp to get for it, the Rotel RC-1070 or RC-1090. I'm not going to use the phono section or the balanced imputs, or computer port on the RC-1090 so I hate to pay extra for features I won't use.
I've asked the dealer... -
Which would be a better upgrade, add on, RB-1070 or RCD-1072 , A power amp or a CD player? My current set up is the RSX-1056 reciever and RDV-1050? I am trying to convert more towards a music based system. -
For those of you who haven't followed, I took home a demo RB-1090 about a month ago to try with my B&W 804s. Was very pleased with the improvement over my current RB-1070. Went back to the dealer to order a new RB-1090 and he came back a week later to tell me that the RB-1090 has officially been... -
What is the difference between these two CD players? If you go to the Rotel website and tell them you are in the US you see the RCD-1072 ande if you tell the website you are not in the US you see the RCD-1070.
What gives?
Are these actually the same unit with different...
