    Rotel Power amp for add'l rooms

    Hi. New guy here at Club Rotel.

    Quick question. I have the 1055 paired up with some axioms for the time being. I'm also doing a full house remodel, where I'm setting up a total of 4 pairs of in-ceiling speakers for ambient music in bedrooms and the kitchen. Although these speakers are relatively inexpensive, I wouldn't mind trying to stick to Rotel quality to drive them with the Zone 2 feature.

    All 4 pairs have speaker wire coming back to a central closet where my a/v stuff will be located. Here is the link to the model (IA 525D): IMAGINE AUDIO

    Is there a specific Rotel amp that will drive these well enough? Powerful enough that I could maybe add a 5th pair later for backyard speakers? But not too expensive for these speakers?

    Thanks!




    oh, btw, would I run all of these in parallel, where all the "reds" would come to one terminal on the amp, and all the "blacks" the other?

    Doh!

    I feel like an idiot. Right after I posted above, I found the RMB-1048 on Rotel's website. ops: LINK


    I guess my question is, would this amp be overkill in quality for the speakers that I am installing?

      No i'd say the 1048 or 1066 would be ideal for your needs depending on how many channels you need

            Overkill means too much power, but it is actually an oxymoron in this case .
