Should I expect a sonic improvement going from two channels of my RMB-1085 to a RB-1590 for stereo from my mains?

Welcome to the forum, normd!
What speakers are you using? -
it is my belief that with the Focal 1028 be's you will find an immediate & noticeable improvement in dynamics & bass response.
not sure about how much you will gain for stereo music as i have no experience with the A8801.
characteristics like stereo imaging, depth, sound-stage & individual instrument focus, etc., will be dependent on how well the pre section in the A8801 performs its role in 2 channel stereo mode.Comment

With just a few hours of serious listening, I can hear a noticeable improvement in the highs and bass with the midrange sound stage more impressive than before. You can hear Adele breathing on her latest CD and the bow across the bass strings on Oscar Peterson. Very happy. Next upgrade is better speaker wires.

so V glad to hear you are pleased with the upgrade.
Oscar Peterson.......oh yeah, baby.......you are in my wheel house now.
do you have "Quite Nights of Quite Stars?
as for new wires....the owner of this site makes V good cables.
many of us use them & we have compared them to some V highend $ offerings but found reason to switch.
Otherwise, pm me for some info if you wish.Comment

Hi normd, did you upgrade from RMB-1085 to RMB-1585 or from RMB-1585 to RB-1590?Comment
-
I kept my RMB-1585 and I am using it to power my center and four surround speakers. I bought a RB-1590 to power my front Focal 1028's. Nice audible upgrade and improved sound stage and vocals. But, I'm considering replacing the 1590 with a pair of SET monoblocks. .

Does anyone experience a slight him from the tweeters when using the rmb1585?
I have a slight hum with no audio coming through..I've tried disconnecting all the interconnects and the trigger. The amp is plugged into a Tripp Lite Lc1200 and I've tried plugging it in directly to the wall.... -
Hi guys
I see Rotel released a new class AB RM 1585 a few months ago. Is it the rmb1095 that has been re-boxed into the 15 series box? I think there's an RB1590 which is more like the RB1090
Re-boxed. Does anyone have an intimate knowledge of this power amps? -
Hi everyone, i just picked up a rc 1590 and rb 1590 .
My question is, Is it normal to have a noisy off switch on the rb1590 . It sounds tinny when the two pieces are shut off . But the sounds comes from the amp .
It doesn't bother me, i just want to know if it is normal . -
Hi guys
I have an RMB1095 and I have an opportunity to replace it with RMB1585. It's gonna cost some money to do this but I'm getting it at a good price. More like 40% off retail value. Is it worth it or this is just a waste of money? -
The RMB1585 has RCA and XLR inputs. I have heard before that the XLR inputs in Rotel are not truly. balanced. Os it the case with the 1585?25 July 2015, 02:43 Saturday
