My set up is as below, yeilding excelent results byt has been leaving me wanting for more. I have already started by buying the Rotel RC1070 which is currently collecting dust in the closet, i will carry on using my cambridge audio cd player i wont be upgrading that for a long time, i currently want to get a power amp and my choices range between the RB1080 or RB1070. i havent decided on the speakers yet but i am looking at the Lsi9 or maybe the dyna audio's audience range, i would like ya'll inputs on this.
here is my room situaltion, room size is 3.5meters by 4.8meters, low ceiling 2.5meter from the ground, electricity use is a small issue but not a major one. i will be using audion quest cabling and interconnects.

RB1070 powered my LSi9s just well (and used th RC0170, too). The 1080 will sound marginally better though.Magico M2, JL113v2x2, EMM, ARC Ref 10 Line, ARC Ref 10 Phono, VPIx2, Lyra Etna, Airtight Opus1, Boulder, AQ Wel&Wild, SRA Scuttle Rack, BlueSound+LPS, Thorens 124DD+124SPU, Sennheiser, Metaxas R2R

Since you already have the RC1070 then I'd go with RB1070 it wouldnot sound much or any different with the RB1080. IMHO best of luck.

Go with the 1080, that way if you won't have to worry about power.Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2
