Parasound JC-1 and Rotel RB-1090: Similar sound?


Hello,
This thread is for those who have owned both the Parasound Halo JC-1's, and the Rotel RB-1090 power amps, or those who have compared them to one another.
I own the JC-1's, so I am familiar with their sonics, but I have never heard the Rotel.
I have basically decided to purchase a Rotel RB-1090 for my secondary system that I am putting together in my basement.
I know that the JC-1's are probably considerably better than the Rotel RB-1090, sonically.
But, I was just curious about something:
Are the sonic signatures of these amps somewhat similar as far as voicing and balance goes?
In what ways are they sonically similar?
In what ways are they sonically different?
Thanks for your help and opinions.

I Could not find any useful comparisons on that forum between the JC-1's and the Rotel.
I am not wanting to replace my JC-1's with the Rotel RB-1090.
I am setting up a secondary system, and I am looking for a high powered inexpensive amp that has a similar smooth and sort of relaxed character similar to the JC-1's.
Someone suggested the Rotel, that is why I am trying to get opinions and comarisons on the two.
Thanks,
Angela
