Rotel Users - Which Amp to Choose


I can purchase Rotel RB908bx,an RB981 or their new 1070 within the same price range. I am looking to have them drive either B&W 602s or Paradigm Studio 20s. Purely for stereo use. Is there a preference in quality and operation of one model over the other. Rotel tech support told me that the lastest model has superior parts and circuits.. but that's his job to say that too. Please advise. Thanks

The Rotel 1070 sounds great with the 602s and one advantage to buying new is the five year warranty from Rotel. These amps also benefit from aftermarket power cords: deeper bass, blacker background, etc.
PS - Although the new Rotels share a similar circut design witht the older models the new ones have improved filter capacitors among other things.
