    Wattage is not only used for volume. The RF7s will drop to 2 ohms and without a powerhouse amp you will not be getting everything they can offer out of them.
    I have run several amps into my RF7s. A 150 watt NAD - weak. The RMB 1095 - pretty good but soft bass with no transient punch. 1090 - really nice with warm highs. McCormack DNA 500 - deep base with crystal clear highs etc etc etc.

    Do a search for RF7 and 1090. There are probably many posts in quite a few forums with info.

      Heard the RB1090 and RB1091 side by side...
      by Joey_V
      Today, I just got back from hearing the 1090 and 1091/1092 amps duke it out with the BW802D... side by side. I must say, I preferred the RB1090 by a good margin. I thought that the 1090 took better control of the 802D in ALL aspects, from the bass to the diamond tweeter. The 1090 had greater stage...

      RB 1090/RC 1090 balanced and unbalanced ?
      by sonicbaer
      Hello

      I hope someone can answer a couple of questions regarding the RC 1090 and the RB 1090 balanced connection switch...

      What does the switch do ? why does the manual say that both balanced and unbalance connections should not be used at the same time ?

      RB-1090 with Klipsch RF5?
      by AB11
      Is anyone running this combo? I know a few here have RF7s and love the 1090 but what about the RF5?

      RF7s might be in my future but for now the 5s are here and I am curious to know if the 1090 works well with them.
