    RB-1080 to drive Polk RTI-12s?

    One more question I would like to throw out. Does anyone out their Have a RB-1080 hooked up to Polk RTI-12s? The reason I ask is because theese speakers are rated 50w-500w. I'm a little concerned if the 200w amp will drive them enough. Everything that I have read on line say that they are good, but hungry. Thanks

    The rti12's are rated at 8ohm load and are like 90db sensitive. You only need good current to drive them very well. The rb1080 is enough power to drive the crazy. No more power do you require.

    Buy and have fun.

        I have a RB-1070 driving a pair of Polk RT-20p and they really sing with the 130 w/ch - 200 w/ch will be plenty for your RT12.

          RB1080...how much better?
          by resperc
          I just bought a 1068/1075 combo and I am loving it. It's a huge upgrade over the Onkyo reciever I was using. Home theater and music (stereo) both sound great. I was considering adding the RB1080 for my front speakers. I have decent speakers (Polk Audio-RT55s, CS400, FX500s and PSW650...need to upgrade...

          RB991/RB1080 for Dyn Audience 82
          by Belgarath99
          Hi

          I have heard that this is the best forum to talk Rotel.

          I am thinking of buying an used Rotel RB991 to add to my HT setup. I will use the pre-out of my Denon AVR 3805 to connect to the power amp to drive my Dynaudio Audience 82 speakers.

          I have heard comments...

          Opera Seconda and RB1080
          by tomasito
          I was able to do a layaway arrangement on an opera seconda. I should be done paying for it in 3 months.

          I am upgrading from my polk audio LSI9 to this.
          Will the Opera Seconda be a good match with the RB1080?
