    Rotel-RB 1090 heaven :)

    Hi all,

    I received my used Rotel RB 1090 power amp yesterday morning. Although couldnt listen to the amp that morning because I had to go to work I was eagerly and anxiously awaiting for my work day to end so I could go home and set it up.

    Well that time came and with the help of my nephew we set up this beauty.
    With the styrofoam that comes with the amazing packing for this amp I needed to pull out some styrofoam kernels that were inside of the amp itself. With a vacuum, needle and tweezers I successfully was able to get all but one styrofoam kernel from the amp.

    When I turned on my test tone to balance the speakers my RF speaker made a crackling sound. I was a bit worried at first as I thought I may have blew something in the speaker but all was well. After channel balancing I put in AC/DC's Who Made Who cd in and whooooaaaaa is all I said with a big smile on me face. I was amazed at how much more openess there was in the high, mid, and low frequencies. Bass was punchy and precise. My nephew was pretty amazed at the sound of this amp and said it was a very musical amp. Everything was so clear. I agreed 100 percent. We watched Saving Private Ryan and I thought I was going to be evicted last night or have security knock on my door wondering what is going on in here...hahaha.

    Well, just keeping it brief folks as I still am rediscovering my cd's once again with much pleasure and my dvd's too thanks to this beauty of an amp. Way to go Rotel!! Thanks for all your replies from the previous posts too everybody. Keep on Rockin y'all.

    If a unit is shipped with any kind of plastic bag around it , inside the box of course, it will not get junk inside the unit. I like my used 1090 TOOOO.

          Hello...yeah zmanbands I hear you there. It wasnt wrapped with plastic around it but I was warned about the styrofoam. When I received my RMB 1095, I needed to do the same thing. I'm still pulling out kernels every now and then..sheesh. Those little buggers seem to pop up everywhere...haha. Well, at least it hasn't affected the sound.

          bleeding ears- I have a Denon 3803 as a preamp and using the RMB 1095 prior to getting the RB 1090. DefTech speakers all around. I wanted to get a musical amp as I listen to cd's a lot so I when seen the chance at getting this amp I went for it. Price was right and here I am today in rock n'roll heaven...hahaha.

          Wardo- I too was considering getting a second one the other night....who knows..stay tuned...hahahaha...

            Rotel RC-1090 Pre-Amp-inside pic of quality!
            by Kevin97225
            Here is an inside picture of the quality of the Rotel RC-1090 pre-amp.
            I thought I would post it here, since during my research of the RC-1090, I could not find an inside picture of it. Looks very nice inside, even more so in person. Anyone have a picture of the inside of the Rotel RC-1070...

            RB 1070 amp- bridged
            by RoMan
            Hi all,

            Any reviews here on using the RB 1070 power amp as a bridged unit? I see it produces 360 watts bridged. As most of you know I'm using the RB 1090(beauty amp I must say) for my mains and they kick out a beautiful 380 watts per channel.

            Would getting this amp RB...

            Need advice on RC 1090 and RCD 1070
            by Huma
            I want to set up a 2ch system contains RMB 1080 amp, RC 1090 pre-amp and RCD 1070 cd players. The dealer that I used to go doesn't have the pre-amp and cd player for demo. I want to know if anyone has any experience/comment on this system, particularly the pre-amp and cd player. Thank you!
