[zombie boy 2000]

don't know where the 1080 is gonna fit.. LOL

Do you think it could fit in a mailbox with a label addressed to your's truly?:p

[faster100]

Lol...

[univera]

Kinda smallish...:D Enjoy!

[GATOR3000]

Hey Faster congrats on your new toys!!……Your Lsi’s will sing for sure now. The 1075 is a sweet amp at 120 WPC. Also, the 1080 will be awesome for your fronts with more than 300 WPC.

Before you hook up the whole system go to Home Depot and get some 2”x 4” to brace your walls!!!!………LOL………… You must be ecstatic!!!

Gator :) :)

[faster100]

thanks, the 1075 is 200 x 5 @ 4 ohms... can't wait to get 300 on the 15's

I fired it up, but still need to calibrate it so i'll reserve a review or statements till then, and of course so far it sounds good. :)

[MattN03]

Nice looking amp-keep us posted!

[Shizelbs]

Sounds only 'good'?

[faster100]

well i hooked it up and 10 minutes later i left to pick up my kids from school.. early release day, and i havent sat and listened seriously yet,.hence im not gonna lie and say, wow ive had 10 minutes or listen time and its a no brainer better then the outlaw :D

Its brighter then the outlaw, not overly like an adcom.. but it sparkles more on the top end. I have a 1080 for the mains coming soon and that will wake up the mains more and let me hook back up my lsi Fx's.. and also i have the new LsiC that hasnt been played since i got it for lack of an amp which i got today.. so it's alot of change and no time today for demo's and listening..

Like i said, i'll reserve reviews during or after the long weekend

It sounds great!! so far :)

[audiobliss]

Wow. That's a monster of an amp. And I can't wait to see pics of the 1080!!

[faster100]

The 1080 is actually smaller but more wattage and 2 channel..

[audiobliss]

Oh. Man. I didn't think anything was bigger than a 1080! :eek:

[faster100]

well yesterday i did some music demo's with the new amp and although it has a lighter lower end then the outlaw.which makes the bass from the 8" er less over pronounced. and a touch brighter on the top end.. read, not harsh just more sparkle.. Its a very nice amp.. its kind of a moot point though because i'll have the 1080 for mains duty which is in all rights a tad better amp and more power to boot.. weighs the same as the 5x 1075.. and is 300 watts x2

havent spun any movies as of yet, that will come this weekend.. and with no sub it makes it all the more difficult to evaluate this system for HT.. however the 15's have some bass for ya.. and some moderate movies is plenty to fill in the low end.. not a svs replacment but good.

The rotel i was told by several sources wasnt so much an upgrade as a lateral move.. and of course a different sound.. I liked the outlaw and as such the Rotel shall stay.. Not night and day, but great so far :)


more to come, long weekend with plenty of demo time ahead

[Joey_V]

Oh. Man. I didn't think anything was bigger than a 1080! :eek:

Nothing in the Rotel line is bigger than the 1090.... yessirreebob... that's the one I have. :D

[BIZILL]

that entertainment rack will negate the need for the heater this coming winter season. is there enough room for the components to "breathe" and cool off? keep a fire extinguisher 'on the ready'.;) :D :p

that's a big summbitch!

[del44]

Great gear at an excellent price. What more could you ask for. Oh, and it helps that it's real nice looking. :D Enjoy!

[wingnut4772]

Congrats Cliff. Enjoy the new toys.

[Joey_V]

Before I forget.. congrats Cliff!

I say 2 months is a looooong time..C'mon Cliff...I know better:p

[faster100]

well looks like fed ex says the Rotel 1080 arrives this friday.. can not wait!

the 1080 im getting is newer and has the dual binding post so im going to do the bi-wire thing on both ends.amp and speakers. starting with redoing my bi-wire's i have now that are single on amp end and bi-wire on speaker end.. just need to order up some more shrink tube..

should be a nice weekend if fed ex follows through on time :D

and then its complete, then i need to start saving for another SVS.. gonna try the new micro sub for now and then get the bad boy first of the next year. along with a new GOOD Dvd player... its birthday time and the holidays are coming to eat all the extra gear money up.. so it will go on hold for a short time.. stay tuned,

[Early B.]

faster --

I recall a couple of years ago when you and I were both really getting into this HT thing and we sorta had the same level of gear. Now you've skyrocketed and I don't think I'll ever catch up. Damn. Go for the gold!

[faster100]

Hey Early,

Your right on the money there, i was content for several years with the HT and the level it was at.. and for the record it wasn't lacking at all to me..

Was simply time for a change and different level and experiance...

Now tomorrow i'll have one of the final pieces of this HT puzzle and im pumped.. I love getting new gear specially big amps.. :D


Now though, i need a new rack and am thinking of amp stand between the
15's...... stay tuned for pics tomorrow

[faster100]

Ok it's here!! just arrived.. now to hook it up and test her out.. can ya tell im excited just a little? :D

[mantis]

I'm thinking of adding a rb1080 or just getting the rb1090 for my mains. I'm also looking at the new rmb1077 all digital amp. I'd like to get into the new technology but not if it's not going to perform as well. I'm going testing soon.

Good luck with the rb1080. I love that amp. It sounds fantastic.

[faster100]

I originally hooked it up with a AR pro series IC and i was like, damm this amp is bright!! turned the treble to -1 and was good..

so i made room in the audio rack and re-installed my new monster 600 ic's that i have on all channels of the other amp and wow.. i needed to change the treble back to flat 0 and so i learned today that IC's are different.. I knew they were but never really realized with my other gear or ic's until today.. I need to take a pic of the tower of power as i deemed it to my wife.. LOL it looks impressive i gotta say..

Rented a couple dvd's and gonna demo it shortly..

I recently got the RB-1092 ICEpowered amp (500 w/ch). I ma blown away by Rotel's (B&O technology) digital amp. Size & wt were an issue for me so I chose the RB-1092 over the RB-1090.

The RB-1080 has issues with blowing fuses. If this happens send it to Rotel and they will upgrade the fuses and caps and other items.
