rb-1080 or rmb-1075

[aflaytes]

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
