Have you tried the Rotel 1090B - I have - it was recommended to me by my audiophile friends - at first I was not a believer - but in the December issue of Stereophile - 1999 - this Amp was reviewed - and I bought it before the review. - Very musical, sweet and powerful. Also stable to low loads - check out the 1090 on Rotel's web site - very economical at $2,000.
