NADT955 or Rotel 1095 Opinions please...

[blueboxer]

Looking for an amp to add to my Denon 2808 and Mythos ST system. Prefer the looks of the Rotel, but the laid back NAD sound. Unfortunately, I have not heard either paired with the ST/10 combo. Any feedback on the amps or combo?

I never tried the NAD, but I used the Rotel 1095 and I have to say I was not impress.
I don't really know what happened, it might be that it needs a dedicated electric circuit or something it just didn't sound right with my old setup, or maybe I was bother by the weight of the amp. in any case I ended up with my sunfire I never looked back. I love the sunfire, it has all the power I need on a 40lb box.
I do agree with you the rotel has a great look and that was one of the reasons I wanted to have it. but it just didn't work for me.

I don't have any multi-channel NAD amps, but I have NAD gear (amps and receivers) powering 6 of my systems right now. When I go with a multi-channel amp (Christmas?), it will in all likelyhood be a NAD.

I buy on sound first and looks second. I don't look at my audio, I listen to it.

With that being said I have had hands on with the NAD 272. That was a very capable amp. I haven't heard the Rotel you are looking at.

Another option you may consider if you are thinking about rotel is their d-class amps. They get reviewed better then the 1095 by almost everybody that's heard them. They aren't as warm, it's more if a sterile price feel but they are so precise in the mids and highs it's amazing!
