    RB993.... older but how is it?

    I am always looking around and see these amps for sale from time to time. How are they? Compared to the 1075 or 1080? I have heard those and I really like them..... so is it still a really solid amp?

    I have the RB-1080 and it is a really awesome amp. They are known for building good stuff and I'm sure the 993 is pretty solid too. What kinda price are you looking at one for???

          RB-993 - reputation of running hot?
          by kneptune
          Just purchased a used RB-993 amplifier, but have yet to install it and connect it up (hopefully this evening). I've read some older reports that the 993 would run hot during operation. Additionally, I have read a report or two that at some point Rotel may have implemented or made available a bias...

          Opinions please on RB993 & 1055
          by simonb68
          Hi folks

          I'm interested in opinions on whether an RB993 would a good upgrade and suitable match for a 1055, with Dynaudio Contour 1.1 mains, and hopefully Contour or 122 centre speaker soon (currently an old Mordaunt Short thing, got it cheap).

          I want to improve my 2ch...

          How to add auto power-up kit to Rotel RB993
          by Belgarath99
          Hi

          I recently acquire a Rotel RB993. Unlike the new Rotel RB1080, RB1095 etc, the RB993 does not have a 12V input. I like to know if anyone has suggestions on how to go about adding some sort of auto power-up kit to the power amp to work with my Denon 3805 receiver.

          Ideally...

          Buying a Rotel Amp 991 and 993????
          by Amras
          Hi folks -
          This is my first post and I just bought a used 993 3x200 amp through ebay after saving for a while. Since I listen to music as much as HT I needed something to take my Denon 3803 to a place it couldn't handle by itself.
          First off - what's the general impression of this unit...

          Hello all,

          I just set up my new kit and I need a little help. I have an AVM-20 feeding two rb-991's and an rb-993. The 991's have three prong power cords while the 993 has a captive 2-prong cord. All are plugged into two panamax 5100 power conditioners. All other components are plugged...
