The scenario:
I am currently using a Rotel RMB1095 power amp with my TAG AV32R, powering B&W Nautilus 805 Signatures (L+R), B&W Nautilus HTM2 (C) and B&W CDM2SEs (Surr).
It does sound great, as you would expect. Howver, I am currently looking at upgrading amplification for the front 3 to a Krell KAV250a/3. This sounds wonderful with bags of oomph and wonderful control.
However, this would leave me needing amplification for the surrounds (given that I will sell the Rotel). This is where you guys come in.
All I need is something that will work well, I don't need the matching Krell KAV250a/2, for example! I want to spend as little as possible but want decent quality. Also, something of normal or slightly shallow height would be useful in order to leave sufficient room for ventilation in my rack.
So far I have been looking at the Rotel RB03 (seen for as little as £200), or perhaps the RB1070 (£600 or so). Any other suggestions? (I am happy to go ex-dem or 2nd hand)
