    I am powering my LSi25s with the 2 channel brother to 1095, the Rotel RMB 1080 and it powers these power hungry puppies beautifully.

    The Rotel RMB 1095 is a beast! Though I wish I could house such a beast it just wont fit in my stand ....

    Not quite the answer you were looking for, sorry ;)

    The rmb1095 is more power then you need to run your polks. You will be able to upgrade to high end speakers down the road if you choose and will not have to upgrade he amp.

    I own it myself and it's a awesome amp.

    The only place I know of in our area that sells Rotel is The Home Theater Store. They often have some good demo/return stuff with warranty at their clearance/warehouse location off of 59.

    If you can get it new at that price, go for it. It's a beast of an amp that you may never need or want to replace.

    If you have another source for Rotel in the area, I'd be curious to know where.

    Raiman31,
    I am in Pittsburgh, PA.
    The lowest I can get for a 1095 is $1,900 + tax. At $1499 that's a good deal.
    Can you tell me where you bought it?

    It's not online. It's a clearance store here in Houston, open box type of place, They don't sell over phone, I have tried. If you ever have business here in Houston, I'll be glad to give you directions. I have not bought mine yet. I'm going to wait a see if they lower it more, but it is still a current model so I doubt they will. I will look online for you and see what I can find for you. I would go ahead and buy now but I have bought a ton of home audio lately.

    I sure will. The man there said to bi- wire and not to bi-amp or I will melt the tweeters. First remove the jumpers.So I can run one rti 12 four wires to one post on the amp, then the other rti 12 four wires to another post, the the center four wires to another post, and one set of my surrounds and then I would run the other set of surrounds to my Onkyo 805.
