Greetings,
I have a pair of new RTi12's and I need to get a used power amp for them. I'm looking at a used Rotel RB-1070 and a used Adcom GFA 55511. Actually looking online at them, not in person. Don't have any experience with them other than what you folks have been saying some. They are both in good condition according to their sources and not real old. They are priced within $50 of each other. What are your recomendations of these two units. Thanks for your good advice. Jim.

Both are good choices but I'd pick the Rotel since its a bit smoother overall.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
