The Rotel is a fine player. But it will present what it's fed, bad recordings will sound bad and good recordings will sound good. I've got the CDM9 NT's, the 703's precursors. Those 703's are pretty nice. Keep 'em.
Let the new amp burn in for awhile. The speakrs should burn in for awhile too. Don't jump to conclusions for a bit. A couple of weeks at least. Let the system play, get some hours on it.
BTW, my Krell sounds great with my 1072 and CDM9's. But it is CD dependent. Some CD's are completely unlistenable, it's a joke what the music companies are putting out. Some CD's are sublime.
