Would any problems arise from stacking a 1068 right on top of a 1075...are they designed to be ok that way or do you have to seperate them with a shelf?

If it was me I wouldn't put anything on top of my amp you want them to get as much air as possible but I'm not sure what Rotel recomends I know that my 1080 used to get warm to touch and it was on a shelf all by itself Rich -
Although I've no experience of the 1068, I know that the 1075 does not run very hot (normal listening) and so: yes! I'd consider stacking the two.- Mike

It seems like my 1068 gets hot enough on it's own. It doesn't need any extra help. The 1075 gets pretty warm too. I wouldn't stack them. But thats me.Comment

1068 is a hot beast. I did not realize that a processor was supposed to get hot. Is this normal??? It runs twice as hot at normal listening levels as my 1095

Yes, the 1068 gets quite toasty, be it power supply, processor, never pulled the cover off to find out, but they generate heat. I personally prefer not to stack anything (unless cheaper gear). Nothing bothers me more than to buy a used piece that has scratches, or gouuges, as it leads me to believe the owner didn't take the best of care of it. I'm with DelRay, its a personal preference. So long as the component that generates more heat is on top you should be fine.Comment

If you check your manuals, Rotel recommends 4 inches of clearance for proper convection cooling. I would recommend this as well since the 1068 does run warm.

I certainly would not take the chance, it's not worth it, IMHO.
I tried stacking amps, but I was apprehensive about inadequate heat dissipation. I adjusted my racks to compensate, much to my dismay.
Also note, that not all equipment runs at the same temperatures, my RMB-1095 runs very cool, while my RB-1080 runs pretty warm. As as rule, I do not stack equipment on top of other equipment if vents are located on the top.

One major point seems to be being completely overlooked.One of the main reasons we have seperate pre & power amps is to seperate the low level ,interference sensitive preamp components from the much noisier poweramp components.Stacking is definetley not recommended from a sound quality point of view.Originally posted by Azeke

You guys see any problem stacking the 1050 DVD on top of the RSP-1098.
Does the 1098 generate enough heat to hurt the DVD over time. :M My enclosure is fan cooled....
: Option 2 I can stack the 2 amps the RMB-1075 and the RB-1070 on top of it. what is the lesser of the two evils :twisted:...

Is there any harm in stacking 2 rotel amps on top of each other? I'm thinking about getting the 1080 and already have the 1075. Due to rack space limits I will be forced to stack them on top of each other. They are both the same weight, with the 1075 a little taller of a chasis, is there any potential... -
I'm new to this forum, and also a relatively new AVR-507 owner. Actually, I've just assembled a completely new system. So far, I love the sound, although the logic takes a bit of getting used to. Anyway, I've noted that the unit generates a fair amount of heat, especially when I'm enjoying music... -
Title pretty much says it all. Whenever I see a thead about a rotel component running hot I always check my 1068 and sure enough its always hot to the touch. When the weather is hot it gets hot enough where I wouldnt want to keep my hand on it for any length of time (my apartment has terrible air... -
Does anyone stack their 1068 right on top of their 1075? Would it be safe if I did this?
I would never have the volume cranked all the way up.
