Pump Up The Volume

TRUE audiophiles have a motto: no speaker too large, no amplifier too powerful. Not surprisingly, most true audiophiles are male and single. Rotel isn't in the loudspeaker business, which is probably lucky given the output levels of its power amplifiers, its speakers would be enormous. The RMB-1095 has five channels, each rated at 200 watts into 8 ohms. That's a total of 1,000 watts of power, easily enough to keep you warm on winter nights.
