Hey cool gang,
I'm about to purchase a RB 1080 for use in combination with my RSX-1056 driving a pair of DM602s3s. (soon to be driving B&W 805s).
A couple of quick concerns:
1. Because of space constraints, this amp will have to sit under my AV cabinet directly on a hardwood floor. It will have approximately 2 inches of clearance above the amp and plenty of clearance to the front, rear and sides. I understand these amps run a little hot. Should I be concerned?
2. There have been some reports of problems with the voltage triggers on these amps. What precautions should I take? I wouldn't have a problem not using a trigger and would prefer to leave the amp on 24/7. However, with the above mentioned overheating concerns, is this wise? This amp is approximately 4 years old and is one of the THX Ultra models. Would I be better off spending the extra $400 on a new one?
Thanks again, you guys ROCK!
