Most compatable amp for ACI Sapphire III


Just got these speakers a couple of weeks ago and am now upgrading the system to go with it. I want to replace the old Yamaha R-7 receiver with separates, already have a Magnum Dynalab F-11 Tuner on hold. Also using a Sony 80-ES CD player.
Been looking at Rotel pre-amps & amps...(RC-1070 & RB-1050) plus an older RC995 amp.
Any thoughts on the compatability of Rotel equipment with these speakers? I like a warmer sound, can go another $700 or so with the amp/pre-amp. Cabinet size limits me to just over 17" width, so that chucks some items out the window.
Thanks for any help!

Lisa,
Sorry to hear of your experience at the B&M. I'm here in Cary/Raleigh where they make both Soliloquoy and Cary, and you missed out on what could have been a very nice-sounding combo. But I've heard great things about Mike Dzurko and the ACI's for years and imagine you'll be very happy.

About your invisible treatment, I have actually seen that happen in stores as well. I am often embarrassed by it. One of my business ideas is to open an A/V store sopecifically catering to females. While the number of interested customers may be less, I believe that if the word got out, there would be plenty of appreciative and loyal customers (maybe even a few guys in touch with their feminine side ;-)
