|   Help me choose ADCOM 7807 / B&K 200.7 / ROTEL 1095 | Tapesh
Oct 10, 2003 7:38 AM | | Its getting very difficult to decide between three Amplifier.
ADCOM 7807
Best return for money as its 300W/ch. But unlike B&K & Rotel this company doesnt get consistently very good reviews for their products some are 5 and goes down to 3.5. I am too naïve to understand why? Is it build quality or sound quality?
B&K 200.7
200W/ch and 7 channel unlike Rotel 1095 which is 5 ch. But people seem to choose Rotel over B&K possibly Rotel is better value for money or is it because Rotel does perform better than B&K?
ROTEL 1095 + ROTEL 1090
200W/ch and but only 5 channel unlike B&K or ADCOM. But gets good reviews from users consistently. Is it really better than B&K or ADCOM.
Also will it work if I hook up my Main fronts to Rotel 1090 (350W/ch) and rest to Rotel 1095(200 W/ch).
Do you think difference between powers will create mismatch?
While responding please consider the fact that this is my first step towards separates with very little knowledge.
Thanks in advance

Oct 12, 2003 8:21 AM | | I am kind of newbie to seperates as well, but I had the tough decision of choosing between Rotel and B&K as well.
What I found by listening to both at varios stores is that the B&K seemed to be more musical--IMO this amp is much better for classical than the Rotel. The Rotel is a very quick amp--great for Rap, techno, and rock.
In the end I went with the Rotel, since I listen to more rock than anything else. I have been incredibly pleased with my purchase and would not change a thing.
One more thing...Although I liked the Rotel amp better than the B&K 200.7, I went the B&K Ref. 50 for the preamp. It is a terrific preamp and IMO better than Rotels. If you haven't, give it a try. |
