Rotel 980BX - 2 channel amp
Comments
-
I just had a major listening session using my Denon receiver as a pre-amp and either my old Rotel 980 or a pal's Adcom GFA-555 as the amp, varying speakers from B&W 202's to Paradigm Studio 100's to Dali's. The Rotel sounds every bit as great as it used to when I used it as my main amp in a basic stereo.
So, anyone wanting a nice jump from an AVR receiver to a far better sound should consider jabrax's 980. I am expecting my new Emotiva XPA-5 to arrive tomorrow! So, my Rotel goes back to power my central home stereo.
Thx for the bump MK - I'm sure you'll love that xpa!TV...............Hitachi 42hdS52a plasma (sexy one with the swival)

4th of July special bump.
If you have 8 ohms speakers, these are some great monoblocks when run bridged @ 360w. If any body is interested in running a pair as mono's and if it will help jabrax's sale, BUY THE ROTEL 980 listed here and I'll sell mine to you for $200 shipped so that you can run them as mono's. But only if you buy Jabrax's first. That's 360w mono's for under $500 provided you have 8 ohm speakers. Let's get these puppies moving!:D -
