    Speaker upgrade advicefor my RB-1080

    Newbie needs help here...

    I have my speaker upgrade narrowed down between the Revel F52 or Aerial acoustics LR5. I am currently using the Paradigm Studio 40's.

    I am going to demo them side by side in the next 2 weeks.
    My question is, can my RB-1080 handle either of these speakers? Or will I need to upgrade my amp?

    I am using the Anthem D1 processor for 2 channel for now but soon for the new theater room.

    My source is the Rotel 1072.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

      In my opinion, you should also look at B&W. I am not sure about the 2 brands you had pointeed out but Rotel + B&W is always a safe bet.

              I'm a HUGE Aerial Acoustic's fan, and I say go for them. Are you going for 2-ch stereo or 5-ch HT?

                  Eventually 5-ch HT when my basement theater is finished. I have upgradeitis and the $$.

                  Garrett, I see that you use the 1095 for you aerials, so I am thinking that my 1080 will power the aerials nicely. Thanks.

                      Considering upgrade to Revel Performa series
                      by PSUfan
                      Alright, the upgrade bug is upon me and I have the money saved. I'm considering replacing my current energy veritas setup with the revel performa speakers. It would be f52's for the main's, c52's for the center, b15a for sub, and s30's for the surround.

                      My current Rotel setup is the...

                      I need help with my final decision! Over the last two weeks I’ve listened to the following: Paradigm signature s8 and studio 100s, B&W 803D, Thiel 2.4, Dynaudio contour s5.4, PSB Platinum, Definitive 7000 STs, and Revel F52. I’m going to write my full reviews later this week. I’ve narrowed...

                      Rb1080 trade-up to RB1090
                      by AA6US
                      I recently bought an RB1080. My speakers are 2.5 ohms, and I have to put a 200W non-inductive resistor in series with one side of the speaker cable to bring it up to 6.5 ohms, which the RB1080 handles just fine (It did NOT like 2 ohms and now I see in the specs the RB1080 works only down to 4 ohm, not...

                      RB1080...how much better?
                      by resperc
                      I just bought a 1068/1075 combo and I am loving it. It's a huge upgrade over the Onkyo reciever I was using. Home theater and music (stereo) both sound great. I was considering adding the RB1080 for my front speakers. I have decent speakers (Polk Audio-RT55s, CS400, FX500s and PSW650...need to upgrade...

                      Recommendation needed - Upgrade drivers?
                      by audioman19
                      I have a Revel F50's that use Audax drivers. I was wondering if I could upgrade the drivers to Scan-Speak Revelators that closely match the Audax thiel small numbers to improve sound quality. I wanted to use the Revel's due to the quality build of the cabinets.

                      If I can get good matched...
