Parasound JC-1 and Rotel RB-1090: Similar sound?


Hello,
This thread is for those who have owned both the Parasound Halo JC-1's, and the Rotel RB-1090 power amps, or those who have compared them to one another.
I own the JC-1's, so I am familiar with their sonics, but I have never heard the Rotel.
I have basically decided to purchase a Rotel RB-1090 for my secondary system that I am putting together in my basement.
I know that the JC-1's are probably considerably better than the Rotel RB-1090, sonically.
But, I was just curious about something:
Are the sonic signatures of these amps somewhat similar as far as voicing and balance goes?
In what ways are they sonically similar?
In what ways are they sonically different?
Thanks for your help and opinions.

I have 3 RB1090's In my home theater. They have mega POWER but is not refined POWER. Compared to my Krell's they lack heavily in dimensionality and tonal color. Perfect for Home Theater as to witch I use them in.
Angela if you live in Michigan you are more then welcome to stop by anytime and have a listen. I will even show comparison against the Krell.
