Rotel RB-1080 - good/bad for Legacy Classics?

I have a somewhat similar opinion/use for the Rotel as Eponies54. I use it with speakers the are more laid back or polite, with nice results. Do not care for it with forward or brighter speakers. Very speaker dependent !

I tried both the 1080, and the bigger 1090 with my Classics. i then bought the Parasound HCA-3500 and the sound came alive. Big improvement over either of the Rotels. I would look for it or, the Halo A21, or the HCA-2200 over the Rotels.
I have heard or owned all the amps I mentioned but the A21. I am going on how much a friend has liked it in his system.

I am running my Legacy Focus with a Rotel RMB 1095 and love it...using the Mcintosh MC 132 s a preamp. I tried the MC206 but it wa very dull sounding so I kept the Rotel and umped the 206 - some say I was crazy but I didn't like the combination and I am never selling the Legacy's - They rock!
