Finally, the power amp buying spree is over and my 2Ci’s are sounding really good now


Recommended Posts

I’ve been through about 6-7 amps recently and in the process discovered horizontal bi-amping. At this point I’ve settled on two amps: a Hafler DH-120 for the midrange / treble and a Rotel RB-1050 for the bass. No more class D amps, they are possibly okay for bass but since I got the Rotel I have no need to change anything. The seller said he biased the Rotel amp to factory spec. I did have to attenuate the level with the volume trims. I did this by ear as I couldn’t think of a better way, just listening to music and adjusting as needed. I thought of playing pink noise and measuring but figured using my ears would be better?

Maybe not as good as a single powerful amp but now that my speakers are being driven by 120+ watts I can see why they are called power hungry. It’s the sound quality at all levels, not just how loud the amp gets.
