    Rotel amps

    Hello,

    I'm just new in Rotelcountry, and allready enjoyed it! But still have some questions, but first, excuses for my english! Try to speak dutch

    Ok, my question. Within a few months i'll buy the pre amp 1066. Also do I need power amps. I've allready the 985mk2, but I still need a poweramp for my Fronts (JBL TI-5000).

    What should I do? I could buy the 1080, the 1070, or 2 1050's for bridging. The last option, is that a good choice instead one 1080? Also a option is to buy one 1070, and later buy a second, and bridge them. What to do? I dont know, I dont read much about the 1050, but they are cheaper, but still lots of power!

    Could someone give me some answers? Thanks allready!

    Greetz from Holland

    The 985 should be enough for 5 speakers, or are you going for 7.1? Or do you just want more power up front? If you are going for more power up front, my suggestion is to go for the 1080.

      Good option, buy 1 1070 to power your speakers, and when you can buy another but Bi-AMP them, do not bridge them.

        I allready have 7.1, I use a denon 3802 as a pre-amp. And use the denon also as poweramp for the rear speakers.

        I'm missing power, I have had the last days several poweramps for testing, mostly Brystons 3b, and it sounds wonderfull, but a little bit over my budget. And besides, I do think that looks are important, thats why I'm looking for Rotel poweramps, and alsso I allready have one. And I love the look of the Rotel 10 series!

          Hi,

          My question was answered on a other forum. I decided to buy the 1070, and later on, a second one.

          I have listened the amp for several ours, what a sound! Great, I'm very happy. I don't know other words for it to descripe the quality, but I can do in Dutch if you want :LOL:

            RC-1070/RB-1080 Combo vs. Krell 400xi
            by Turkish1480
            I can pick up a used 400xi for a little more than the RC-1070/RB-1080 combo and was wondering if anyone has directly compared the two? Is there a significant difference? Looking to use with B&W 703's. Thanks.

            Does RB-1070 sound the same as RB-1080?
            by audiofan
            Hi,
            I was torned between rb-1070 and rb-1080. Due to the budget constraint, i can afford rb-1070 , even though i would go the route " more power is better" . However, I don't think the gain in db between 1070 and 1080 is much different. What i concern about is the sound between these...

            RSX 1056 and 1070 or 1080 ?
            by Stev
            I already have the 1056 and was decided on getting the 1070 to improve the 2ch SQ over the 1080 due to the posted problems with the 1080 - dont seem to exist with the 1070. My mains are 4 ohm nominal load. Question is given that the RSX 1056 is 100w in 2ch will the 1070's extra 30w be noticeable ? Or...
