I'm not familar with their amps,but the Icbm was a must for me for my 2.1 set up.The Rotel preamp has no bass management.If I were to have a receiver that would only do one crossover setting for all speakers I would seriously consider an Icbm for bm duties.There you could select a specific setting for each speaker based on it's specs.
