Amp for back surround.
I have the Rotel 1068/1075 combo. I am looking for another amp to drive the 2 back channels. Is the 1080 overkill for back channels. I appreciate your input/suggestion.

Move the 1080 to the front L&R. Use the 1075 for the rest of the channels. That's a no brainer.Adz -
I don't have your setup but personally, I would buy the 1080 and assign the front channels to the channels being amp'ed by the 1080 and have all the surrounds amp'ed by the 1075.
Would give you better 2 channel playback in case you ever play CD'sComment

I agree...
Or get the 1070 for the back surrounds....
Digital Audio makes me Happy.

Thank you for your suggestion. WIll this set up cause timbre mismatch since the center speaker is now driven by the 1075 and the L&R driven by the 1080.
I am using B&W 705 and HTM7

No, quite a few of us, myself included, use that combination quite successfully with no mismatch. It's a very popular way to go if you spend time listening to 2 channel by itself. If that rarely if ever happens then got the 1075/1070 route.Originally posted by HTguyJerry RappaportComment

How about selling the 1075 and get the new digital 7 channel amp - one box for all channels.Comment

This is a good idea. But I want to wait a bit for more review of the 1077.Originally posted by PezComment

Probably cheaper and easier to just get a 1080 or 1070Originally posted by Pez

Finally decided on my speakers B&W 803 fronts, HTM 2 center and cheapo 600's for my side and rear surrounds (ran out of money he he he).
Now the question- (I think i brought this up before and Andrew kinda answered it but i lost that thread.)
1) B&W recommend bi-amping... -
Hi all...
I have a RB-1080 bi-wired to a pair of B&W 803S and a RMB-1075 driving the center and rears (which btw, are nowhere near the quality of the B&Ws). Can I tap into the 2 unused channels on the 1075 to bi-amp the 803S? Is this even feasible considering the difference... -
I have the following HT setup :
RSX-1056
RB-1070 for front channels
RMB-1075 for center, surround and back channels
B&W DM603 S3 Front
B&W LCR600 center
B&W DM602 S3 surround
B&W LCR600 center back
B&W ASW-600 sub

I am tempted to add a 1080 to my 1066/1075 setup to drive the fronts - which i plan to upgrade too from my meagre Boston Micros. This idea, encouragingly, seems to be a popular upgrade path of others too
! Upgraditis seems to be infectious! I have even considered whiping out the old soldering iron...

Hi,
I have denon 3805 and i have decided to get rotel power amp. One thing i'm confused is whether i should get 1075 or 1080. Since 3805 rated as 120wpc, does it matter if i go with RB 1080 (200 wpc). I don't know if i should worry about the wattage balance between two units. In another word,...
