Using Luxman Pre-Pro with Rotel RB-1080?

[Souwalker]

Hi first time post.
I am looking at getting the RB1080 to replace my 18 year old Luxman M03 power amp wich is starting to play up. My luxman Pre amp C02 is in perfect working condition. Would I be able to use the lux pre with the RB1080?

Here's my main speaker specs:
Magnat Sigma 900
28-34,000 Hz
3 Way 4 Ohms
140/200 W DIN/Music
Sensitivity 1.8 Watt

My current Luxman M-03 Power amp specs:
Power Output: 200W x 2 (FTC, 8 Ohm, 0.03%)
BTL Power 480W (8 Ohm, 1 kHz)
Frequency Response 10 Hz - 100 kHz
Signal To NOise 120dB
T.H.D. 0.02%
Input Sensivity/Impedance: 1V/45kOhm
Rated I.M. : No more then 0.02%

I have used the RB-1080 amp and RC-1090 pre-amp for several years with no issues. I use XLR out from the 1090 to 1080 amp. Last year I borrowed a Krell 300ci integrated and compared to the Rotel combo. I could not hear any difference in the sound quality feeding B&W Nautilus 802 speakers. The RC-1090 is indeed an excellent pre-amp if you can find one. Both the RB-1080 & RC-1090 have been reliable.

Yes it will work just fine.... Though over time it may have a slight degradation in sound due to aging of components such as critical capacitors.. Still that will make it even better when later you can afford to upgrade the pre-pro...
