Preamps, Amps, & Controllers: Monoblock & Stereo Power Amplifiers: Rotel RB-1080

 

The RB-1080 rests close to the pinnacle of Rotel's two channel power amplifier designs. Power output of 200 watts per channel (20 Hz to 20 kHz @ 0.03% THD into 8 ohms) is extraordinary. The Rotel-made toroidal transformer feeds separate power supplies...

BAGS OF POWER ON TAP

 

High power, high reserve, highly stable on complex loads with good upper and lower frequency extention.

Lots of power en lots of reserves during the loud and complex passages. Very good stereo focussing, good extentions in the upper and lower frequencies.

Only single wire binding posts, it could do with bi-wire binding posts.

I purchased the Rotel RC 1070 Pre Amp and the RB 1080 Power Amp to replace my NAD C352 Integrated Amp. Nothing was majorly wrong with the NAD, but I was looking for more spice and a more open and engaging sound. To put it simply, the Rotel was all that...
