Cheers Ears.

Yeah actually I already checked out the RB1090 and 1080 on the web
cos one of my local dealers does Rotel. Interesting to hear a recommendation
for it. I saw from the published specs that both claim the same damping
factor, just one's got more watts. TBH I don't need the kind of power
that the 1090 has to offer, and if the DF is the same, I probably may as
well go for the 1080.

On the Rotel website it claimed some stupid power consumption for the
1090, over a kilowatt. Do you happen to know whether that's the quiescent
value (class A all the way or something) or the "all guns blazing" power
requirement?

I'm not familiar with the Meridian. I'll have a look.


Thanks again.
