Rotel RB 1070 bridged/ RB 1090


I have a Rotel RB 1070 and am looking for more amplification. I'm thinking about getting another 1070 and bridging them. Has anyone done this? How are the results? Alternatively, I could trade the 1070 for a Rotel 1090 amp. Any thoughts on what would be better: two bridged 1070s or one 1090?

Thanks,
RP

Neither. If you can afford the 1090, you can afford a better power amp than the Rotel. Don't get me wrong, they build decent stuff, but having had a 1080 in my system temporarily while waiting for my Bryston amp to come in almost a year ago now, the Rotel had this grainy sound that was just...unnatural. I'd definitely look at (and maybe audition if you're buying new) other products in that price range.
