I found one of these amps on the local buy and sell web site and was curious if someone has one of these and can comment on its performance and sound quality. I realize it will depend on the avr, when hooked as a pre/pro but any imput would be greatly appriciated.

    Great amp. I had a similar setup as yours and it did a great job pushing my RTI a5's.

    I love mine. hooked up to well check out my gear listed below.
    I did upgrade the PC on the amp (thanks Janmike). I was using marantz mA700 and an outlaw M200. The Rotel has less WPC, but I find the Rotel to have a cleaner-more rich sound over the monos.

    I can't really comment on the RMB-1075, but I do have 2 RB-1070's bridged and it sounds awesome. The jump from 130 wpc to 360 wpc was nice. :)

    Myself I think Rotel makes nice gear, I also have the RC-1070 pre, and RCD-1072 CD Player, no complaint's yet.

    Yep, it has to sound great on those monster cables :confused:
