I may connect an RB-1070 Amp to my Rotel RX-1052. Will I notice more transparency in the sound? My dealer has told me that the RB-1070 would not provide much more power. I kind of find it hard to believe because thats an additional 30 watts.

Going to a 1070 will give you a better sound (subject to your ears), but stepping up just 30 watts will not make it go much louder or more dynamic.
Honestly to get a substantial improvement, I would start looking at a RB-1080.

Thanks
Kevin,
Thats exactly what my dealer recommended. I had no idea I would get this involved in the sound. The 1052 powers my Stratus Mini's quite well. I can tell the Mini's would sound even better with more power. Should I just sell the 1052 and go seperates? Money would be an issue right now. One thing I have noticed about the 1052 is that it doesn't sound like a receiver.Comment

This is s great combination. I was told that the PSB Stratus Mini was terribly power hungry. I do not agree. These speakers sound fantastic with a huge soundstage and power. These have to be some of the best monitors around...even today. -
I just purchased a pair of PSB Stratus Mini's and now I am finding my Rotel Receiver just slightly underpowered to drive them. The sound is fantastic but is it possible to get a RB-1070 Amp and use the RX-1052 as a preamp tuner?

I am an infrequent poster, but constant viewer. With that being said, I am looking for any input on a strictly 2 ch comparison. I have an rx-1052 and rsp 1069 and am trying to figure out which route I should go. Unfortunately I don't have the rb 1070 in order to do the comparison for myself. I am... -
I recently added this note to a thread already started but figured i'd get more response from a dedicated thread....
Would it be possible to hook up the rb-1080 to the rx-1052 and run in it in different zones, more than one set of speakers?? I was considering this because i wanted the...07 May 2005, 11:19 Saturday
