    RB-960 amp

    I use 2 of these amps in my home theater, bridged, one for each main channel. one of them on occation gets a little static during movies on occasion. this happen to anyone else. I traced it to the amp because I switched them, and the problem followed the amp.

    I'm wondering if it is because I am running it bridged. It is powering a Polk LS90 speaker. it's 8 ohms, and I have been doing this for about 6 months.

      Oshkigod,

      This is most likely a part going out of tolerance with age in one of the RB-960's (could be a capacitor). Put it in for service and they problem will most likely go away.. Just run the other un-bridged while it is in for service.

          sounds about right. it does it very infrequently, but if it is a bad cap, it will probably get worse over time. guess I'm gonna find a repair shop, or another amp depending on the price I can get it for.

          thanx for your help ausie

              by jim1961
              Ive owned my Classe CA-100 for 18 years. Finally got some speakers worthy of doing more and so have bought a second CA-100 with the plan of bridging them both.

              I am not sure what to expect in terms of sound, but in about a week ill be able to tell. Havent had this kind of power (350w)...

              Came across a B&W service manual

              I came across a mint service manual for B&W speakers. IMO well worth what I paid.

              It covers the older lines, early 90s, but its still pretty cool IMO.

              B&W Service
              by NMG
              Hi everyone,

              I just thought that I'd post a positive message in regards to some great service that I received from B&W recently.

              I was trying to acquire some parts for my HTM7 recently and my local dealer was unsuccessful in assisting me. To make a long story short,...

              2 x RB1070 Bridged V's 1 x RB 1080 ?
              by bleeding ears
              Hi again guys, looks like I am going to have some time on my hands waiting for my preamp to get fixed so now I am pondering my next purchase.

              I am considering using 2 RB1070 amps bridged to power my front speakers.
              That should produce about 330 wattts per channel.

              by RoMan
              Hi all,

              Any reviews here on using the RB 1070 power amp as a bridged unit? I see it produces 360 watts bridged. As most of you know I'm using the RB 1090(beauty amp I must say) for my mains and they kick out a beautiful 380 watts per channel.

              Would getting this amp RB...
