RA-03 bi amping with RB-03.

[wireseeker]

Hi all

I have just purchased the Ra-03 and set it up with a pair of Boston VR2's, and I am loving the sound. However, I was thinking of purchasing a second unit, the Rb-03 and bi amping the speakers using my exisiting RA-03.

Is this a good idea? Would the sound difference be worth it?

I have a RB1070 driving a pair of VR2s. In the next month or so I'll add another RB1070 to bi-amp :T . My dealer and I will then test to see whether its better to bridge the amps (i.e.330W/ch) or to bi-amp. In a year's time, I'll however be upgrading to the Dynaudio 72s.
As a matter of interest, my father has a pair of Boston VR1s hooked up to the RB03 and this amp is a beauty for its price. Though its a 70W/ch amp, it drives those Bostons with absolute ease.
I would suggest you speak to your dealer and swop the RA03 for the RC03/RB03 pre/power amp combination. Here in South Africa its a R200 difference. The RC03 can pass signals out to two amps. The RC03 however does not have bass and treble controls, neither does it have the "contour" control which I have on the RC1070. You can however ask your dealer if you can test whether your RA03 plus a RB03 will be a better option. I would certainly go with the bi-amping idea.

Let me know however if this does make a difference. I very keen on your findings.

Thanks, I have since chosen a slightly different route, but still need your help on if it will work.

I am taking my RA-03 back and swapping it for a RC-03 to which I am going to plug a RB-1080 into. I have the 1080 at home at the moment, and it is sounding amazing.

Question here is, is it really worth it to have the 1080 and rc-03 combo rather than just keeping the RA-03? If it is, then is the RC-03 ok to control the 1080?
