RB-1080 question - Double Binding Posts

[Belgarath99]

Hi

I bought a demo Rotel RB-1080 last week to power my front speakers. As it is a demo unit, I did not get a manual with it. The unit has double binding posts on the rear panel.

My Dynaudio speakers does not have bi-terminals for bi-amping/bi-wiring. Does anyone know whether it matters which sets of terminals to hook up the power amps to the speakers? If only one set of terminals are hooked up, does that mean I only get 100W of power per channel?

Thanks
Stephen

It does not matter which set of binding post you hook up to - either set you get the full 200 watts per side.

FYI you can easily download the manual from the rotel website, www.rotel.com ...all their manuals are available there for free....I've pulled down all sorts of docs from them to review.

I have done that but their online manual for the RB-1080 must be for the "older" version of the RB-1080 as the rear panel on the manual only shows single binding posts. Needless to say, it will not have answer to the question I was asking.

It is for the 1090, but has the speaker terminals you refer to?

If so, the info should all be relevant.

Hope this helps
