    Digital Amp Update

    FYI...the digital amp will go on sale Q1 2005, with a suggested retail price of $2500. It will be called the RMB-1077, and as previously mentioned will be 7x100WPC.

        Sounds like Rotel is trying to lift themselves upstream in price point. This is not such a bad thing...as long as the amps performance lives up to it's price.

            Not much to see at all.. I think it's only about 3" high and looks like a RB-1050 with 7 LED's on the front...

              It is indeed only 3 (or so) inches high, but it is all silver in the front, with no external heat sinks (one of the benefits of a switching type amplifier). So it is sort of like an RC-1070 with no buttons or dials. Just a power switch.

                If there are no heat sinks (that by the way are just for show on all the amps) does this mean new design without the handles???

                  Actually the 5-channel amps use the front heat sinks for the center channel. During movies it gets the most use and needs a little bit more dissapation.

                      It still has handles on the left and right side.

                        I talked with Paul at Parasound today, and got some good info on the update issue. Apparently yes, the current version available is 6.42. Version 6.49 was developed, but bugs were found, and it is not currently available to the public. If anyone inadvertently has version 6.49, they should contact Parasound...

                        Onkyo A-9555 Integrated (Digital) Amp
                        by Blindamood
                        I've been casually shopping for an integrated amp lately, and came across several good write-ups on the Onkyo A-9555. It comes in silver or black, and lists for $699, but can be easily found for $499 from several online retailers.

                        I decided to give it a shot, and received mine yesterday....

                        Hey gang,

                        I'm getting ready to buy my first hi-fi system and could use a little advice from some of the more experienced audio enthusiasts.

                        The speakers I have chosen are: Martin Logan Aeon-i (4 ohms).

                        My dealer suggested the following from Rotel combination....
