I can pick up this 1yr old Rotel RMB-1095 5 channel amp for $1,000. It's in mint condition. Any thoughts on the RMB-1095 & is it a fair price. I seem to think so. Thanks

    You just answered your own question Phil. If it is an acceptable price to you, go for it.

    I think it's an awesome price for that particular amp. I doubt you would be able to find it lower than that.

    Owned the 1095 for a while and it's a great amp with tons of power. Paid $1200 for mine a year or so ago. The only negative is the weight it's a beast.

    I have one running my surrounds, and the 2 ch 1090 on my mains. I bought both used about a year ago. They sound great and have been trouble free. Make sure you have a stand or rack that can hold the weight, and provide plenty of room for cooling. A minty 1095 for a grand is a bargain.

    I owned one as well and as said it's a beast. It does not run out of gas , it has excellent dynamic's and control. I'd buy another one.

    Yeah...after all these years of hearing your yapping of the benefits of a multi-channel amp, I finally caught on!!! ;) And it's even your recommended 200w of good, clean, power! :D
