rb985+rb991 would these match

[mickyboy]

hi all having done a bit of "reasearch into older rotel power amps"
will soon recieve rb 985 5 channel amp, and was in the future thinking of buying rb 1080 to power front channels for av/sterio duties,
have know noticed there is older models avaliable ie rb991 (200watts) is this a 2 chann or 3 chann power amp as web site i saw this on does not state which,

would the combo of rb985+rb991 be better than rb985+rb1080,
with possible rotel 1066 processer at later date (use 3802 in the meantime) thanks all

yes. these amps would match. the rb-991 is a 2 chan. amp. the rm-993 is the 3 chan model

I can't say if the two match or not, but I've had my used 991 for a few weeks now and it's fantastic. It's 200wx2, can't be bridged, but does have XLR inputs (which I don't use-but is nice to have). It's squeezing everything my Infinity IL30's are capable of, which means I'll need to upgrade those soon. :LOL:

I'm new to separates , but it seems to me that this is a great deal at around $600 on the used market.
