    Can the 1095 handle 4ohm loads?

    Just wondering, looking at a set of outdoor/party/DJ type speakers, wondering if the 1095 would do the trick.

    Yes, it goes up to 330 Watts at 4 Ohms.

      Would that be a max rating or continuous rating? If that is max, do you figure it could do about 220-250w continuous?

        The 330wpc 4ohm rating is continuous (possibly with only one channel driven). Some measurements put this at a more conservative 278wpc when two channels are driven. Other measurements have shown the 1095 to deliver 500wpc of continuous power (at clipping) and peak output power at around 575 watts. Suffice it to say, it's a tough amp.

          I have one driving Aerial Acoustics. My 7b's up front are 4 ohm. I switched to it because the 1075 couldn't deliver enough power. I'm very pleased with the 1095's performace and ability to drive these speakers. Have no worries.

            Will it run hotter this way?

              At a guess, yes. Like anything, the harder you work it, the more heat you will get.

                I can't answer that one because I've never run mine on a lighter load. It has about 2" clearance on top and the sides, and about 3" in the back. It does not run too hot to touch. In fact, my 1068 pre/pro runs hotter than the amp (and it has less clearance too).

                  Hi guys! This is my first post in the Audio Hideout. I have been spending my time in the Mission possible thread.
                  I am presently building Zaph's ZDT3.5's and am looking to upgrade my gear if needed.
                  I am wondering if my Onkyo TX-SR505 7.1 A/V receiver will power my 4ohm Z's.

                  Also I've read an interesting article:

                  "If you hear something of
                  an "8 ohm amplifier", then we think usually of 8 ohm speakers.

                  These are amateurs calling for help in the forums,...

                  Is Rotel RMB 1095 amp really 5 x 200 Watt ?
                  by bleeding ears
                  Hi guys and gals,

                  Having had quite a bit of time on my hands waiting patiently for my brand new RSP 1068 to arrive, (1st one was dead on arrival) I was reading over my Rotel brochure and noticed the RMB 1095 is rated at 5 x 200 watts. (which equals 1000 watts)

                  Power Conditioner Suggestions for 1095
                  by vsarathy
                  Could you guys offer me suggestions for power conditioners/surge protectors for my HT. Specifically, I intend to get a 1098/1095 and would like to connect them both to that unit. And, connecting the 1095 would, of course, require a conditioner with high-current ratings. BTW, what is the maximum current...
