    Rotel amp selection.

    Hi,

    I'm currently running 2 B&W CDM1-SE on a Yamaha RX-V390RDS (60W).
    Active subwoofer B&W ASW300.
    I want to switch the Yamaha with a secondhand Rotel pre/end amplifier.
    I play a lot of Jazz en soft rock at low to intermediate volumes.
    To get the most out of the speakers would I need a 70 or a 120 Watts setup ?

    ThX in advance!

    i would suggest a used 1090.
    even at low volume, transients, clarity, ambiance & a slew of other characteristics are effected by the amp.

    if a new amp is a requirement, then i suggest one of the offerings from Odyssey

    jmho, ymmv

      ASW300 sub - pulsing sound when "auto" powered off
      by fretman
      I just bought a second ASW300 sub to add to my system, used, on eBay. It works fine, except - as the subject says - when in "auto" mode, after powering itself down, it makes a strange pulsing sound, with a slight chirp to it. It makes this sound even with no amp or speaker connected, and...
