    Rotel 15 series class A/B or D

    I'm planning on upgrading my speakers from the B&W 683's to the 804S'. i currently own rotel's RSX-1058, RC-1082, RB-1080, RCD-1072. now i like to listen to all sorts of music. but the most taxing on my 1080 would have to be psychedelic trance (oforia, atomic pulse, bwicked etc). and i like it loud when I'm listening to this genre. the 1080 is stressed. I'm outputting 100-105dB out of my speakers and after 2 hours the amp shuts down from overheating. my dealer told me theirs nothing wrong with the amp I'm just driving it really hard, and he also said the music that makes it overheat has very dynamic and strong bass. so basically what I'm getting at is i want to upgrade to all 15 series after i get the speakers. i want to bi amp the 803S's. should i go with class d amps or the a/b's??? I want to add that i also listen to jazz, classical, world, indie, easy, etc. and i want that to sound fantastic. I'm not just an electronic freak. and i'm not just needing dB's. so i dont know which i should get. im thinking class d based on heat. but i dont know how thats going to sound with music like jann arden, feist, morcheeba, death cab, earlimart, radiohead, moby, floyd, adele, deerhunter, the decemberists, coldplay, rebeka higgs, norah jones, diana krall etc. RB-1582, 200 watts class A/B or RB-1572, 250 watts class D

      Yep, I agree too.
      1092 or the 1572.
      Class D just loves trance. Jazz too.
      you really need to try some of this stuff out!
      you'll be impressed.

        You could get a sub which would take the strain off your 1080 and add to the dBs.

          I've always had my eye on this one in the stores but then recently, my library picked it up so I rented and watched it last night.

          Let us just say that this lady can sing.....and sing well. NO vocal processing here!!. She doesn't need it!!. She sings her songs effortlessly....

          I picked up the debut CD "19" by British Singer Adele, who won two grammy's this year for the album. Anyone who likes female vocalists like Tracy Chapman, Alana Davis, Sarah McLachlan, et al should like this CD. Sound quality of this recording is excellent and should make for a great female...

          This is just a post about a couple of disks I'm really enjoying lately, not recent releases, but as I've found, undiscovered by most of my friends, and as they have found, worth giving a spin. I've always had a certain fondness for women who play jazz (probably started with a thing I had for a keyboard...

          Been lurking for ages so figure i'll post something that i discovered a few days ago.
          I recently found out about internet radio. As a big fan of jazz and particularly smooth jazz, the Smooth Jazz radio on SKY.fm is great. I first heard it this past weekend with a live show broadcasting live...

          Class CAM 350 vs Bryston 14B ST with B&W 802N - opinion
          by amdan
          My local dealer had a couple of Classe CAM 350 monoblocks for sale and was kind enough to allow me to home trial. The only reason I trialed them was the loyal Classe following in this forum. Many of you maintain that Classe and B&W are an excellent match. I have also seen a few posts elsewhere saying...
