The RHB10 is a fantastic amp, even for its age. The 990/991's design was based upon the lessons learned from designing the Michi line. The amp was sold between 1993 and 1997.

If in good condition it is a great amp, but at 1300USD a bit overpriced. New it was about 2900 USD ?

The RHB10 is like two mono amps in one cabinet. Layout of left and right exactly similar and both having their own powersupply and four really big capacitors.
The RB990-BX was much like this, only one big powersupply for both channels and four big (but a little smaller) capacitors. But here also, a perfect symmetrie for both left and right channel.
They both can drive difficult speakers with ease.
Recently an used RB990-BX was sold on an American auction site for about $350 (newprice $1000). Newprice for the RHB10 was $2700.

A Dutch company is selling the RHB10 with the RHC10 together. Their "buy direct" price on eBay is 2000 euros (is about $3000), but you can bid lower ofcourse.
