    2 x RB-1080 or RMB-1095?

    I own the RB 03

    I intend to buy the RSP 1068 and more power amps

    For me format of 5.0 or 6.0 is quite enough

    I can't not decide: 2 X RB1080 or one 1095 ( similar price )

    I heard the 1080s may have some problems with fuses

    Should I go for it ?

    Thank

    1095 gives you one more channel of 200 watts....

    That's about the only difference...

    I think it images a slight bit better for HT use than the 1080s would.
    Digital Audio makes me Happy.

          i was under the impression that all the 1080s are THX certified. One 1095 will take up less shelf space than 2x1080s.

                I think Buying 1080 or 1095 are both never a mistake

                  Given the trouble I have had with the 1080 (fuses times 3) or the stellar performance I have had with the 1095 it would be an easy decision for me. The 1095 rules. Fantastic amplifier for the dollar value.

                    Don't get too hung-up on the THX stamp. Rotel states that they are entitled to continue using the THX license on the 1080 as well as other "legacy" products, but their new equipment will no longer carry it.

                      RB1080 vs RMB1095?
                      by macwrede
                      I just purchased my first pair of B&Ws, some 803Ss (yeah, I know...I should've held out for the 803Ds...)

                      I had thought that my next purchase would be either a HTM3S to replace my Polk center channel or an ASW825 to replace a Velo SPL1000, but after reading other threads, it sounds...

                      1 x RMB-1095 vs 3 x RB-1080?
                      by hired goon
                      G'day,

                      I've currently got an RMB-1095 5x200w amp, about 2 weeks old. For a few hundred dollars, I can trade this in to get 3 x RB-1080 2x200w amps.

                      I'm wondering about the advantages and disadvantages of such a move.

                      This is what I've come up with:

                      Do you feel bi-amping helps with higher powered amps?
                      by audioqueso
                      Hey everyone,

                      A few days ago I had received my B&W 805s, but for the time being I am only powering them with a Marantz SR6400 (100x5). I was considering adding a dedicated amp such as the Marantz MM-9000, but I've convinced myself to go with a Rotel RB1080 or RMB1095 since I've always...

                      (Modification complete) - I'm turning my RMB-1095 from black to silver
                      by Legairre
                      I had a few scratches on the center faceplate of my black RMB-1095 (purchased before the silver ones came out) and figured I'd drop B&W/Rotel a call and see how much it would be for a new center faceplate. While I was at it I figured since my other two Rotel amps are silver series 10 I might as...

                      RB1080 / RMB 1095 - Channel Outage
                      by Adz
                      Okay, one thing I purposely failed to mention in my first posting in order to give Rotel the benefit of the doubt, was that when I got my RB1080 it was dead out of the box so obviously I was given a new one. The 1095 worked fine for about 3 months, then the left channel died. Last night, the left...
