I'm looking into buying a RB-1080 to be paired with my Klipsch RF-7s. I'm not rich and I was wondering what I should offer to my local dealer for one? Retail I believe is $1K, but I'm sure they have like a 20-30% markup. Any ideas what I should be paying? I don't want to pay too much, but I understand they have to make a living too and don't want to lowball anybody...It seems used ones are going from $600-700.

You can generally get 10% off. 15-20% if you develop a relationship and purchase a lot of goods.

I got mine for $836USD back in November from my dealer. It was his first offer and sounded fair to me so I went with it. Good luck and enjoy. I auditioned amps many times it's price at home and the 1080 kept up with all of them.Comment

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the difference soundwise between the RB1070 and the RB1080?
At nearly double the price, does the RB1080 sound any better than the RB1070? (RB1080 = $1600 V's RB1070 =$900) Thats recommended full retail prices in Australia.

Hi
I have heard that this is the best forum to talk Rotel.
I am thinking of buying an used Rotel RB991 to add to my HT setup. I will use the pre-out of my Denon AVR 3805 to connect to the power amp to drive my Dynaudio Audience 82 speakers.

I recently bought an RB1080. My speakers are 2.5 ohms, and I have to put a 200W non-inductive resistor in series with one side of the speaker cable to bring it up to 6.5 ohms, which the RB1080 handles just fine (It did NOT like 2 ohms and now I see in the specs the RB1080 works only down to 4 ohm, not... -
Anyone can explain these differences? Maybe Rotel thinks we in Europe are all rich people.

Recently purchased an RB1080 for my front speakers. Using an RSX1055 for the center and rear channels. Initially, the RB1080 caused a loud hum through my speakers. The dealer suggested using a 3 to 2 prong adapter with the AC cord. This eliminated the hum totally.
Upgrading to the RB1080 was well...
