    RB 1070 V's RB 991 Which one best?

    Hi guys ! with the oppourtunity to buy either the RB 1070 or the RB 991 for approx $600-$700 Aus (used), I was wondering which one would be best.

    The RB 1070 is the current model at 2 x 130 watt.
    The RB 991 is about 3 years old and is 2 x 200 watt.

    Hopefully you guys can give some guidance here.

    My speakers are 89-90 db and 120 watt @ 8 ohm

    Also does anyone know what difference there is between the RB991 and the RB 1080, soundwise and build wise ? and if the 991 suffered any quirks such as those being encountered by some with the 1080

    thanks

    Bleeding Ears,

    The RB-991 is a excellent amp - sonically very similar to the RB-1080... My Money would be on that..

      i wouldn't spend that much on a used rb1070 considering its rrp brand new is $899 in aus, so with some bargaining you can get it for the same price as the used one

        804N with Rotel RB1070 & RB991?
        by niggy
        Hi,

        I have, lying around, a rotel RB-1070 and an older RB-991 amp.

        I have the opportunity to get a used pair of 804Ns at a good price. Was thinking of using these to bi-amp the B&Ws with the 991 taking care of the lower frequencies and the 1070 handling the upper end....

        RB 991 hum question
        by JimP
        I've had this RB 991 for several years as part of a 7.1 home theater system and have had a hum issue that may or may not be a problem.

        Using XLRs to the prepro, if I disconnect the right xlr from the RB 991 amplifier, I get a loud hum. Connect it back and hum goes away. Disconnect the...
