Better than “made in China”
which I’m sure it is!
One of my best amps was the Rotel rb1090. Over 700W @4 ohm!
she was a beast, but luck o’the Irish hit me, turned on one morning, and a white pop, flash, tiny smoke plume.
Inrush current limiter went out, bad luck as always.
made my D-9’s sing like no other!
Miss that Rotel, sold to a douche on eBay, as I was afraid of negative mark, brought up the shipping charge, which was big$$,
he manipulated me, and wound up getting a sweet deal.
Wish still had that amp, sounded great!, tight, open, headroom, damping, controlled the woofers like magic!
Have upgraded since!, much happier now.
have 3 pair of cerwin vega D-9’s looking for a home!
Need reconing.
Surprisingly the odyssey monos at a measley 200WPC, do drive them better.
I brought up another thread about these 200WPC, monos, sounding better than the emotiva xpa-1momos at 500W8ohm, & 1000W@4;ohm.
Still boggles me how this can be.
a pair of 200W @8ohm monos can sound better and deeper/more clarity than an amp with 3X the power at 4Ohms?
better parts? Design? Construction? Driven at 4 Ohm, maybe 350-380WPC,RMS, BLOWS the doors off the 1000W rms emotiva monos xpa-1 amps!
