  1. Aussie, I just looked. It wasn't 1080 vs 1090 but RF 7 vs RF 83. RF 7 won that one. FWIW I was at a local rotel dealer about 5 months ago and he liked the 1090 better than the 1080 and he had 1080's to sell and no 1090's. The latest 2 channel Class D, RB 1092 at 500w/ch is the only one he put above the 1090, but they are too pricey for me.

  2. I havn't heard the 1080 but I'm sure it would be good from many favorable comments. Since Feb of 2007 I had a Nad 150w/ch, a 990 200w/ch and now the 1090.which is about380w/ch. The Nad was good, the 990 better and the 1090 better still. With the RF 7's the 1090 runs luke warm and uses .6 amps [yes that's point 6] or 72 watts. I have no trouble plugging the 1090 into my power conditioner rather than directly into the wall and it sounds better. I asked the same Q which would be better the 1080 or 1090 and as I recall those who had heard both more voted for the 1090 about 2 to 1. I'll try to find the thread and bump it up. Make sure the 1090 is packed well and double boxed.

  3. Thanks for your comments. The reason for my question!! My brother has been listening to my system(s) for 30 years. I have made some recent improvements that I think really caught his attention and now he has started down the slippery path to improve his system. He loves my RF-7's as do I. Having never heard the 83's I asked the question for him. [MY RF-7s are going nowhere! ] So based on everything, price a consideration, I will recommend the RF-7's to him, giving all the feedback you gave me. I have made some serious tweaks to my system. I cannot believe the RF-7's had what I am now hearing, in them. I'll post that separately. Stay tuned. Thanks for the help once again.
