| Is my Amp OK? Curious of your thoughts about the SA-200.2 compared to the Rotel 1590 - I had been a Rotel 1090 user for several years. Changed my system around and went to a Parasound A21 and then to the SA-200.2 which I currently have and love. A 1590 became a... | |
| Cary Cinema 11 Quirks? I have since swapped out to a Cinema 11a a few years ago and it is a better and particularly more stable processor compared to the original. It has run the volume up maybe 5 times in 3 years. Yes, still not acceptable behavior for high-end gear, b... | |
| Best investment for upgrade a RB-1090 or MC300 Ditto on the 1090 in regards to balanced operation. However, I do own both the 1090 (for Paradigm Ref 100v4 mains) and a 1095 that runs everything else. While both of these Rotel amps share that "endless/effortless power" quality, have excellent s... | |
| Best 3 to 6 channel amp for around $1000 - $1500 I know this thread is 5 years old, but I must second the Rotel 1075. Landok hit it right on the head. Very sweet, musical, rich and textured amplifier particularly throughout the midrange. Does not have the last word in top end extension and air, ... | |
| Rotel RB 1090 rca & xlr connection I have done this to compare the two inputs with some similar mid-grade interconnects (I couldn't hear a difference in sound quality or volume). Switching the little toggle back and forth does not create any snaps or transients in the line. I do no... | |
| Rotel Rb 1090 or Rb 1092 I have a RB-1090 driving some Ref 100 v2's, and it is fantastic. Low end grip and control to spare. It is the first amp I have had (after cycling through many) that has ZERO strain and effortless power driving the paradigms, waking them up and bri... | |
| Cary Cinema 11 Quirks? I have had two Cinema 11's over the past 4 years - sold first silver only to get a black one. Sound and performance was identical, and very very good. Thoroughly satisfied with functions, features, and most of all sound quality. Only quirk I have ... | |
| How much Amp for Paradigm Studio 100 v2's I had amps from 40W/channel, 90W/channel, and 125W per channel, and all sounded okay for the Paradigm Ref 100's v2 that I own. Biggest change came with the 200W Rotel 1080 - these speakers like juice and control. Think what you will about amplifie... |
