Ok, this is hopefully the last of my stuff that I need to unload. For some reason these have been selling well on A-gon, but I want to give the Polkies first dibs.
Rotel RB-956ax - SOLD
I picked this up from a garage sale a few years ago and was amazed at the condition of it. Damn near spotless and fully functional.
3 stereo pairs with 40w x2 for a total of 40w x6.
Each stereo pair can be bridged to 100w for 100w x3 or any combination of bridging and stereo (40w x6, 40w x4 and 100w x1, 40w x2 and 100w x2, 100w x3).
Has always been run in stereo to great effect bi-amping a pair of RTi4's in a 2nd room. Tried bridging for the heck of it, and was actually pleasantly surprised. Definite increase in mid/low end and just a slight edge on the top end, though only noticeable at higher volume. This thing only begins to show some small heat when all pairs are bridged, otherwise very cool. Overall, a killer amp for the money and very versatile.
Now, on to the downside. Two years ago when moving, the amp somehow (thanks to somebody that helped me move:mad:) was taken out of the box and had a 45 lb iron monkey statue leaning against it in the van. As a result, there is an indent on the top left edge near the back that I showed in the pictures. It's not noticeable when placed in shadowy areas or when close to the top of a cabinet. I have checked every possible damage this could have done, and thankfully, it hasn't affected the amp in any way. Everything sounds pristine. Just worth mentioning as the pictures will show.
Do not have original box, but it will be packed well with a printed copy of the manual. Questions always welcomed. Pictures below.
