Rotel Michi RHB10 vs RB1090

[obiwan]

Hi people,

When I had my Dynaudio Special 25's I changed from my Rotel Michi pre/power (200W) to the BelCanto eVo2i (120W) integrated. I felt that made the sound warmer, more pleasant.

I now have the Dyn Contour S5.4's and the other day got out the old Michi and used the Bel Canto as a preamp only. I was mightily impressed with the improvement this made. Now I'm thinking if the big Dyns like the power that much, would the RB1090 at 380W improve upon the Rotel Michi RHB10 (don;t think it was sold in US). I believe the Michi has very high current ability, and I believe it was built to a higher standard than any of the current Rotel line up.

Any thoughts on how the 1090 would compare to the Michi?

Some old Rotel products is more reliable than current products
and the old integrated 985 mkII sound really better than
the up-to- date 1062
IF YOU doubtful about the 1090 let wait until digital amp 1092 (500W /ch) is avaible :B :P

Since you cauld afford 3.4 Contour so the price of 1092 is not a problem
Enjoy the life with Dynaaudio

Its just that now that I've tried both the Bel Canto and the Michi with the Dyn S5.4's, I'm not sure that I'd want the digital 500W Rotel when it comes out. Not confident that it will be better than the 1090.
