Hi,
I currently have a Denon 998 (equivalent to 2808CI) to drive a pair of B&W CDM9NT bi amping, but I always feel it doesn't sound as good as my previous Rotel RSX 1055 receiver. I asked this question a while ago, and the suggestion is to upgrade to a Rotel power amp. So, now, I have the money and was looking through Audiogon. The RB 1080 (200wpc) is selling around $550 while the RB 1070 (130wpc) is around $350. Also, there is a RMB 1066 which can be bridge to give 150wpc. I have several question.
Do you think I can hear the difference between the 130wpc and 200wpc? Is the extra $200 for RB1080 worth spending?
The 1066 is a 5 ch amp bridgeable. Will it sound the same as the RB1070? It just seem it is more flexible, so, is it a better choice?
If after all, I should get a 200wpc, should I wait for a RB991 or RB990? What is the price range for a used RB991 or RB 990?
