Just curious if anyone compared these two when shopping. I'm leaning towards the 1095 as my system is all rotel............. so more for cosmetic reasons and I can also continue to use the DB-25 connector to hook everything up. Any thoughts though??? I'm still sitting a little on the fence.

That's a tough choice!
The best thing to do first is to try to listen to both in the same listening conditions, if possible at home.
Then, IF you can really hear a difference between the 2, then buy the best one for YOUR ears.
I really think the quality is around the same here. If it was me, I would go with the one with the best price, because I really think they will give you the same level of performance.
It also depend on your speakers. If you have Paradigms, then Anthem test them with their amps. If you own some B&W, then go with the Rotel, because B&W use their amp to test their speakers.
BTW, I have a little story telling much about Anthem customer services. I did ask the Anthem/Paradigm rep in my region if I should use their top Anthem amp or a Bryston 4BSST to power my Studio-100... Guess what, he told me to go with the Bryston, a competitor products!
Go out and listen before buying!To spend more $$$ on electronics without first addressing room acoustics is fruitless IMO.

I have been considering a seperate two channel amp for my front Paradigm 100's for a while now and I am undecided between the Rotel RB1080 and the Anthem MCA 20. Both are 200Wpc, 2 channel amps.
My concerns are:
1. Since the 1056 will still power the center and rear speakers,... -
How do the Anthem MCA Series amplifiers stack up against the big boys like Proceed, B&K Ref, etc.
They appear to be a good value and the reviews on AR are all positive.
They are rated at 200WxN but looking at the specs on the SF website they put out this power at higher THD... -
I read that many people in this forum really like the rotel 1068/1075/1080. I am planning on getting the 1068 but wonder how Anthem MCA 5 compare to Rotel 1075? I watch 40% movie and 60% music. Thank you. :B -
I have grown weary of tracking down the buzzing from my RMB-1095. I don't have the problem with my Bryston 14B SST which is connected to the same pre-pro (Rotel RSP-1098). In speaking to Bryston, Rotel, and my ht guy, they all concur that the reason I don't hear the buzzing from my Bryston is that the... -
HELP !??!
Which way to go here!?! I haven't been able to find anywhere that I can A/B these two amps. I have a complete Rotel system now and I'm happy with it. But the front end is likely to eventually be replaced with an AVM-20. I'm selling off my RB 985 THX 5 channle amp to get more...
