rotel rsx1056 + rb993 ?

[rick c]

Ok, i know i've gone thru this before but i have found a rotel rb993(200 x 3) for a real good price.I'm about to get off the fence here but really need final opinions first.Will i get a significant improvement in sound quality in both HT and music by adding this amp to my setup(signature).If i wont and it's only slight improvement i'll save my money for now.
P.S. i have 1 day to hit or miss.thanks

Hi Rick.

I have this amp with a Yamaha 2500 as pre. I'm driving a B&W 804s and HTM4s with it and i'm really happy. I'm waiting for my new Musical Fidelity A5 to drive the fronts, tho.

I got the rotel off a friend just for 500 € (450$ give or take). I think was a bargain given the quality of the amp.

In your case, i'm not so sure you will notice a big improvement. Of course, the more power, the better, but i think you are good with your current amp.

I had the 603 and the LCR60 with the Yamaha, and added the rotel before i changed the speakers and, honestly i noticed a better sound, but nothing "spectacular". IMHO, the 603 are not so difficult to drive...

That been said, if you are planning some upgrade on your speakers anytime soon, i would go for the rotel. That rb-993 is a great amp.

Just my 2 cents.
