I recently did some major upgrades to my stereo/HT system.
I upgraded my main (crappy) speakers to B&W N802 and the center to a HTM-1.
The 802s are powered by a Classe CA-401 which kicks *ss in stereo mode, but the rest of the speakers are still connected to my Denon 3300. That´s fine for the B&W 602s and LCR6 in the rear, but the HTM-1 needs something far more powerfull!
I was thinking about using a RB-1080 or RB-1070 in bi-amp mode for my HTM-1 and leaving the surround speakers on the Denon.
Unless the 602s and LCR6 would benefit greatly from a Rotel amplifier instead of the Denon (rated 105Watts/channel@8ohms but it´s more like 80), in that case I could use an RMB-1095 (would an RMB-1075 be inadecuate for the HTM-1?), that bi-amps the HTM-1 and powers the rear speakers.
But I´ve read on this forum that the RB-1080 is a better sounding amp than the RB-1075 or RMB-1095
Recommendations of Rotel users are greatly appriciated :T
PS maybe this topic is more relevant in the B&W section?
