    Rb-985?

    Hello All,

    We are currently running Paradigm Studio 100's v2 & CC center with the Rotel RB-985 & RSP-1068. Will our sound improve if we upgrade to a more powerful Rotel amp? The 985 is 100 watts per channel. Will upgrading to the 130 watts amp improve the sound? Or jump up to the 200 watts per channel.

      Hi, I wouldn't waste your time or money going with 130watts over what you have now as you will hear little if any difference. The 100's love high current , you will hear quite an improvement with 200w. or more. Greg

              Why do Studio 100s need more than 100 watts?
              by Ricky
              Paradigm Studio 100s are 91dB sensitivity and 8 ohms; on paper, one of the easiest speakers to drive. Since a 3dB increase required doubling the power, if an 85dB speaker needs 400W, then the 91dB speaker would only need 100W. Do owners of 85dB speakers need/use 400 watts? No, because there are very...

              Hi.

              I have question regarding output voltage of my Vincent Hybrid SA-T1 Pre Amp. Is that the right term?


              I'm wondering if my SA-T1 has enough or adequate juice to be matched up with my Butler TDB 2250 Hybrid Power amp?

              I don't know much about these...
