I'd go with the Rotel as well as I had it in my system for about a year. Sound was great though it does take up a lot of room. Seriously consider replacing that Marantz pre amp though. I had the same until I went to the NAD M17V2 and its night and day different. Granted it's a pretty penny more but I heard as much or more of a difference in upgrading my pre as I did the amps.
Bryston 9B ST FIVE CHANNEL vs Rotel RMB-1585 5ch
What is the consensus among you?
I have a new Marantz av7704 and B&W cdm9nt's
What is a better buy, and what will my B&Ws most benefit?
Used Bryston 9B 5ch OR A new/ish Rotel RMB-1585??
Looks like A-gon has a Bryston for $1700ish. I can get a new/ish Rotel 1585 for about $2k
Best choice is :
