Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3

@mward, so I was planning on getting the best Rotel initially prior to starting this thread, but then got diverted by the WAF.  

Atleast it'll sound good and hopefully she will like it.  

My other amp is a beast, so atleast I have that to fall back to.  

@joey_v

Oh yeah, I know about your big rig. This isn't the only neighborhood I hang out in:-) I wish my main system was as sweet as your SF/Rotel system will be.

I'm betting that set-up will sound great and you and your wife will love it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cheers,

Scott

For sure, you’ll be fine with that as a second system. I’d take that deal all day long.

I have an RB - 1070 for sale. Excellent condition.

I used to like Rotel and owned a RMB-1095 5 channel amp for 8 years.  Thought it sounded great until I heard what a good amp sounded like.  Bryston.  I dumped my Rotel 5 channel amp and 2 Parasound amps and replaced the Rotel with a 9B-SST THX.  That 9B puts the Rotel to absolute shame.  The Parasound (A51 and A23) amps have been replaced with 3 Bryston amps, a 2.5B SST2, 3B SST2, and 9B SST2.  The SST2s are mated with a Marantz AV8802A, made in Japan.  I could not be happier.  My other pre-amp is the AV7702MK2 mated with the older 9B-SST THX and sounds excellent too. I do have a Marantz AVR 7010.  It sounds good in a bedroom and is not something I would use in a serious listening room.
