I think the Bryston 4B-ST is a better choice for about this amount than Rotel. I had one for years and it was a great product.
Time to upgrade - need advice
I currently have a Rotel RC-1070 preamp, Rotel RB-1070 amp, Rotel RC-1055 changer. I can either upgrade the pre to RC-1090 or the amp to RB-1080. Either unit can be had for around $900. Which upgrade would give me the better bang for the buck? The second choice will be upgraded later down the road - 3 months or so.
