    Rotel RB-1080 vs Rotel RB-991

    Hey guys is there much of a difference? I need this amp to power my 2 front speakers and using the RMB-1075 for my center and surrounds.

    Thanks
    Tom.

    I have the 991 and 1075 in exactly that configuration. I researched the difference between them and found the 1080 had a higher damping factor and a 12V trigger. The Rotel reps told me that it was essentially the same amp with a 12V trigger so I bought the 991 for $A1000 less than the 1080. I am really happy with it. It controls my fronts effortlessly. Bass was improved over the 1075 which I originally had powering the fronts.

    PS. I ended up making a 12V trigger myself and it now powers the amp on/off when I power up the 1066. I had to build one because I couldn't find what I wanted in Australia.

          I have 2 RB1091 amps which I got a deal on from my local dealer several years ago. At the time he said the 12v triggers weren't working. At the time this wasn't a problem for me. However since upgrading my system late last year I now want to...

          by cmr15
          I've got a 1067 which runs rather hot, and I'm aware that that's the norm. I'm about to place it in a custom wall unit and need a little info regarding the use of fans and a 12v trigger.

          What I'd like to do is use 2 accessory computer fans to circulate the air. One would pull in air...
