Rotel RMB-1095 Introduction
My wife and I like to occasionally go out and treat ourselves to a nice dinner. On these nights the baby gets sitted and the checkbook opens up for some special culinary delights. Home theater enthusiasts like to splurge too, and when it's time to spice up a mid-priced receiver or processor, Rotel is here to offer an affordable upgrade - one that will definitely improve the amplification stage of your system.
Rotel's 5-channel RMB-1095 is THX Ultra certified and boasts 200 watts into 8-ohms (20Hz-20kHz) with all channels driven. It can drive any speakers rated at 4-ohms or greater and has 116 dBA SNR (more on this later). Weighing in at 75lbs and standing over 9" tall there are no smoke and mirrors to be found here.
