Hy,

For more than 2 years now i have the RTI 12's and they are gorgeous. My amp (technics) is out of service at the moment and so it is time to change, but after trying to get some information and ideas on other forums i didn't find yet what i'm looking for.

My case is a little special. I'm a dj (hobby at home) and only use my RTI 12's for my mixing an listening to my records.

So my first question is it really necessary to take a complete amp? Because as my mixing table (Vestax PMC-CX) is actually already a pre-amp, like all the mixers i think, and so I suppose I just need a Power amp (without pre-amplifying)? Can someone confirm this or am I wrong?

My mixer is one that i bought just because of the great sound. Even better and more dynamic than his wellknown pricebrother the "Allen & Heath Xone 92". This info because even if i'm a House/dance DJ I really like a nice, warm and refined Hi-fi sound at my place with offcourse some power.

In that optic I would like to ask if someone got an idea?

What about a Rotel RB 1080? Or Lyngdorf SDA2175? Someone know if they match well with the Polk RTi 12's?

My budget is max 1000-1500 Euro (aprrox 1500-1800 Dollar)


Thanks already & sorry for my bad English :)

    Ok, when i was looking at the reviews of the polks it is indeed what most of people suggest. The min. 200 wpc.

    Do you have experience whith the Rotel - Polk RTi 12 match? Give the Rotel that warm refinned sound, or is it a more neutral sound?

    Do you know the Lyngdorf SDA2175? Some people told me this one could be a very nice match, but on the other side, many reviews of this one tells he misses some warmth and got a neutral sound...
