I'm am looking to buy either an RSX 1055 or RSP 1066 and a RMB 1075 within the next two months and noticed the RLC 900 on Rotel's website while looking around.
Let's skip past the "do line conditioners make a difference" question for now and assume (for argument's sake) that they do provide (audible) performance benefits.
My questions are as follows:
(1) Does anyone own/use the Rotel RLC-900? If so, are you happy with it?
(2) Are there other comparably priced units (i.e. Monster Power HTS2500, Panamax MAX 4300, MAX 5100) that I should consider instead? If so, why?
(3) I've read arguments for and against plugging a power amp into any of these products. Typical argument made against plugging into a conditioner is that it can't provide enough current for when the amp is pushing a dynamic peak load. What gives?
I note, for example, that Rotel's RLC-900 has two outlets rated at a combined voltage of 1300W. Can I assume this will give the RMB 1075 more than enough "headroom" since the latter is only rated a 800W of power consumption?
