    RMB-1075 Performance

    Is anyone currently using an RMB-1075? I am considering adding one to my second system in the basement bunker. It will be power B&W 700 series speakers. Acoustic treatments are a mustard yellow shag carpet and various shades of brown walls.

    With those brown walls you may need an RMB-1095.

      Heh.. What 700's are you going with? The 1075 will give you good performance for the money, but if you are getting the 703's you might need the 1095.

        My primary system is 803S, HTM3s, and 805S with Audio Research amps. This is a secondary system with 703 in the basement. The problem with the 1095 is cost. It cost about twice as much as the 1075. I am having a hard time justifying the cost to upgrade from a receiver to separates considering how little the system gets used. It is also used at relatively low levels. If the 1075 is a nice sounding amp I would consider it, but if it doesn't perform, I don't think I want to make the investment to make the next step.

          Given the circumstances, I think you will be fine with the 1075. The 1095 would give you that extra headroom for dynamic loud passages, which I don't think you will see.

            1075 will be A-ok for your system.

              I really like the price point of the Rotel 1075. How does this perform compared to the Parasound Halo amps? I saw the article about Oliver Stone using Parasound. They have a price increase similar to the Rotel.s 1095 On paper I can't tell the difference. They both have manipulated the information sheet so you can't get a straight line comparison. I think the Halo has a much sexier appearance. It provides the same power as the 1075 Rotel.

                parasound has separated the wattage and THD ratings (so you don't know at what wattage the THD was quoted and vice versa) ... something rotel proudly shows in its specs.

                that said, the HALO amps look real nice.

                one more thing, I believe that while the HALO and Rotel 2 channels are comparable in price, the HALO 5 channels are way more expensive

                  Question about adding a second amp to my RMB1075
                  by nash
                  I've currently got an RMB1075 and an RSP1066 with Definitive Technology speakers. I've ordered some new towers for the main L/R (Def Tech 7001SC's) which should be a considerable upgrade from my current towers (Def Tech ProTower 400's). I am going to move my ProTower 400's to the rear.

                  Hi
                  I am looking to upgrade my speaker to 804S and HTM4 using the Rotel RMB1075/RSP1068 to drive it. I normally listen to CD (bypass mode) and DVD concert music. Anyone know whether he rotel rmn 1075 can drive the 804S. I also have a REL 201 sub in my system. When I listen to the 804S speaker...
