Hi Dave,
Unless you have a problem with the sound as is, I see no reason to change the amplification.

Rotel RMB-985 or new Amp?
I have a Rotel RMB-985 pushing B&W Nautilus 805s (x3) in the front and B&W DSM6s in the rear. This is accompanied by a B&W ASW-3000 Sub. I'm about to pull the trigger on an Onkyo Pro 885 (same as Integra 9.8) to replace my fading Sony 9000ES pre/pro.
My question is about the 985. Its nearing 10 years old. Should I consider replacing it in the near future? Has amp technology gained ground like that of the pre/pros? Other than the additional two channels, would I gain much with a newer amp? At the end of the day, I guess what I would like is the amp that is well suited for my pre/pro and speakers.
As always, I appreciate your thoughts and feedback.
