Has it fallen out of favour or is it still the bees knees for the hifi enthusiast with limited funds?
RMB 1077, Noone talks about it anymore

I was just thinking last night how much I love mine. It sounds as good as it looks. Sounds amazing when outputting DD+, True HD and lossless PCM- Mike

It's a great sounding multi-channel amp. It replaced all my old parasounds for a fraction of the size and weight.
At first I thought it would have trouble with the low end since it was replacing a 250watt Hca-2200II but it held pretty well, even better I think, with more detail.
Just remember that this amp needs at least 3 days of break-in time to get some volume and bass out. :lol:
Energy efficient as well.- Bottom

I couldn't agree more! I'm extremely pleased with mine. :T

Good Idea
Originally posted by TedI would only need a five channel, could you use this to bi-amp the fronts if you choose to do that type of thing?
An excellent idea. I actually bi-amped my front three channels (B&W Nautilus). Very happy with results. You could also use the extra channels for a second zone if you want. The 7 channels does provide flexibility.
Excellent sound in a small package.

Originally posted by TedSteve, thanks, that is what I thought, but wasn't sure.
After several weeks I tried the bi-wired ultra12's and the sibilance disappeared. I detected no lost in detail but there is an increase in bass. So I personally would not recommend bi-amping the rmb-1077, hardly any benefit. Just get better cables ops:- Bottom

2ch version, RB-1082, should be out in March/April. Uses a slightly newer version of the ICE module, so could sound even better.

I'm still tryinjg to decide whether to get the Rotel or the Bel Cantos. Then again if I got the Bel Canto's I could well end up with a Rotel for the surrounds anyway, so perhaps I should just start with the Rotel and see if its good enough. But I would be using it to biamp the fronts using my DEQX as a digital crossover.- Bottom
