Is Rotel RMB-1075 a good match for B&W N804

I have a B&W N804 driven by RMB-1075 primarily being used for HT. I listen to music on my headphones, only just recently have started to listen to music on the 804's. There seems to be little bass & midrange , not sure if it is the rotel, I've even bi-amped but found just a little improvement in the bass & midrange.

What's the rest of your system? The problem may lie elsewhere.

Oppo BDP-103 and Yamaha RX-V650 as the pre.

The Oppo has its own volume control. Try plugging it directly into the amp so that you bypass the Yamaha. You should hear a very big difference.

Home theatre receivers, in general, tend to perform very poorly as preamps. The Yamaha would definitely be a major problem for sure.
