    The amp uses bipolar transistors. IMO there's nothing really to modify. Any benefit to be gained would not be commensurate to the amount of effort and expense involved. If you are dissatisfied with some aspect of the amp's performance then consider upgrading to something else, maybe Classé.

    Also, I know that using the preouts of an AVR is a cost-effective option to a dedicated preamp/processor but you should also consider that the AVR you're currently using in this fashion may be a weak link in your system.

        by wackii
        Hi all, I'm looking for a free software that allows me to modify the pre-existed crossover. Let just say I have the crossover schematic, and I want to plug in those values (caps, resistors, etc...) and modify it. I want to reduce and/or boost certain regions of FR, change the crossover point of tweeter,...

        by Jim456
        Hi everyone,
        I am new to seperate and Rotel. Got a used RB985 amp a week ago. Now I see someone is selling RB985 MKii. It is just $130 higher than my RB985. Should I go for the newer MKii or just keep the MKi. How is the sound between them? Also, what is the lifespan of Rotel Amps. Is...

        RB985 bridgeable?
        by eran
        I have a Rotel RB985 which produces 5X100W RMS & Cerwin vega CVT12 300W RMS
        I'm currently using the 2 front amp channles to power these speakers & they are clearly underpowered (clipping at 1/3 power)

        1. Can the RB985 be bridged to 2X200 + 1X100?
        2. If so, what the...

        RB985 or RMB1066, which to keep?
        by tearinghairout
        Hi all

        A long time ago I bought a RSP970 pre-amp and RB985 5x100 power-amp, which I have used for a while and been pretty happy with.

        However the pre-amp didn't do do anything digital or proper 5.1 surround, so I decided to upgrade it. I found on ebay someone who was selling...
