More upgrade questions....

[miner]

My current setup is:
Rotel RC-1070 pre
Rotel RB-1070 amp
Rotel RCC-1055 changer
Aiwa XC-R700 CD burner
Denon DVD 1000
B&W 804N mains
B&W ASW800 sub

Considering upgrade still, need comments/suggestions. Options below:

1) RC-1090 pre & RB-1080 amp - $1900

2) RB-1092 amp (use current pre) - $2500
Haven't heard - no demo unit to listen to.

3) Classe separates (really can't afford the $8300 for pre and amp)

Thanks for your help.

Uhmmm Classe Sparates!?!?!? Need you say more?!?!

Until you've heard the RB-1092, I would wait on making any choice (unless going for Classe) until you hear it and then make a choice.

Adding a good amp, might help...but it might not be the sound your looking for. If it isn't, then you need to start looking towards companies like Classe, Krell, Bryston, NuForce, etc.
