Rotel RB-1090

Does anyone have experience driving Vandersteen 1C speakers with the Rotel RB-1090 amp. Would this be a good match?

I think 1090 only match with bigger speakers

Have no experience with Vanderstein but the 1090 matches well with my Klipsch RF-7 speakers. And the 1090 runs fairly cool and draws little amps [.6amps]. This is a GREAT amp.

:agree:
I have heard Zmanband's system, and it is V good! The 1090 is wonderful!

Also, if you don't have power hungry speakers, or are still building your system and planning future upgrades, if you get the 1090 now, it will be many many years before you ever would need anything better.

As always, AIMHO.

Choose wisely, grasshopper!

Thanks Bill. I appreciate your opinion.

I have no experience with those particular speakers, but do have a RB-1090 powering a set of paradigm studio 100v3's in a surround speaker system and am always amazed at how good they sound. This amp can push my speakers to their limits with reserves to spare. It can play both very dynamically and subtle when needed. Just watched the Island the other day, took my breath away this one.

I was looking for a sub that will add to my systems current bass capabilities and have settled on a SVS PB-13 ultra which will arrive in precisely 3 weeks time
