I have done a bit of reading on this, and have a couple questions.
The system I am setting up will have the 2 front channels running at 380 watts (Rotel RB-1090) and the center, rears and surrounds at 200 watts (Rotel RBM-1095) Will there be a sonic difference that is noticable between the fronts and the rest of the system? It is not to late to change my mind and get the RB-1080 which is 200 watts by 2, or 3 RB-1090's and run 380 watts on all 6 channels.
My second concern is my rears and surrounds can handle 400 watts. So would running them with a Amp so close to the Speakers max power handling damage the speakers at high levels or peaks?
And lastly, what would the benefit of running the system at 380 watts over 200 watts? How great a sonic difference? Enough to constitute the $2500 extra cost?
Any help would be great, thanx.
