    rb-1080 or rmb-1075

    I'm currently in the market for an amp & could use some help. I just bought an Rsx-1057 which I have yet to listen to w/ my set-up. I've been reading around & from the looks of it is that i'm a bit under powered. They're both the same price, but I don't know which one would benefit me more...
    Any help would be appreciated.....

    Rsx 1057/ Rb 1080 or
    Rsx 1057/ Rmb 1075 or
    any recommendations......

    Current set-up:
    Rotel Rsx 1057
    Paradigm Studio 60's, cc570, adp 470
    Room size: 13x19x8

    How do your speakers sound now with the 1057? While more power isn't necessarily a bad thing, it may not be needed, but a lot of that will depend on the volumes you listen to, etc...

    For HT, the 1057 is probably more than sufficient, but you might want to consider a 2-ch or 3-ch for stereo listening and/or driving the fronts in HT...

      As you know, the 1080 is a 2 channel amp (200W), the 1075 is 5 channels (125W). If your set on getting a separate amp, unless you listed at really high levels the 1075 should be fine.

        Paradigms are easy to drive, the 1075 should handle it.

          I'm happy with mine, RMB1075 sound pretty good
          Few months ago I took RB1080 home because I was curios since everybody say how much better Rb1080 sound well that wasn't the case for me
          There was barley any difference between them, RMB1075 it’s a solid amp I has zero problems for last 16 months, unlike other amps (according to everyone else)
          Try them both at home for few days

            New RSX-1056 - which amp 1075 or 1080?
            by a2ee
            Hello!

            I'm new here and from Germany. I've to say these forum is very useful/helpful!

            What has happened: I was not sure should I buy a RSX-1067 or RSX-1056. In the end it was very easy I've got a brand new RSX-1056 (in black, what I prefer) for a VERY good price. ->...

            Please help me - RSX-1075, DVD HDMI and TV
            by STaggart
            I have recently purchased the Rotel RSX 1057 receiver. Also grabbed the OPPO 981 dvd player. I have run the HDMI cable from the OPPO to the 1057. Then HDMI cable from the 1057 to my LCD TV. I get video and sound to the TV so I know that both audio and video are going through the 1057. No sound to my...

            Rotel RSX 1057 with Hiss issues...
            by ICEMAN70
            Hi guy's

            You know, i thought ROTEL would have fixed this problem by now with their Receivers. My New RSX 1057 has the same hissing issue as the 1056 had. You can hear the Hiss from about 3 feet away. But from my listening position you really can't. I sit about 10-11 feet away. But the...

            Hi guy's

            Just got the RSX 1057 on Saturday. Had a chance to play around with it all day today. Well first off, the 1057 replaced my 3 year old RSP 1066 as a Pre/pro. I have the RSX 1057 hooked up to my RMB 1075. I just have the front 2 channels running out of the 1075 and have the center...
