Oh no, you guys...now I'm experiencing upgraditis again! About a year ago, I wanted to get Rotel separates as well because I'm not *totally* happy listening to music with my Denon 3802. I got over the "sickness" because I figured it wasn't worth it. But now that you guys are describing the differences, I'm getting anxious and envious all over again! Well, I guess I had better keep looking at the balance in my bank account. That should cure me pretty quick!

LoL. I thought it was just us men with the upgraditis condition. Apparently women experience the same thing. 
I wonder if there are any rotel dealers nearby that would be willing to let you borrow an amp, so you can do some comparisons...

I agree with the rest, if it is within the budget seperates are the way to go.

Oh, c'mon, I just got the speakers and I thought my 3802 sounded great. How long do I have before I'm not "totally" happy with it??.... (Why did I start this hobby?) (Oh yeah, cauz it sounds sooooo good!) Guy

If you read too much here, you'll be unhappy with it. Your best bet is to listen to your system as much as possible, and relax. Having a small bank account helps, too.

You are soo right! I'm being greedy and always wanting more! I need to remind myself that I've come a long way since my Panasonic boombox which I used to think sounded fantastic! Screw it...maybe I just need to get a Bose Wave Radio. That should solve all my listening problems (cough,cough!)

LOL! Yes, this hobby does seem to bring out the Oliver Twist in us all. "More? You want MORE"?

But I also already have the Bose radio. This could be tougher than I thought!

I've bought all of my Rotel gear used on www.audiogon.com. Never had a problem at all. I've bought the RSP-1066, RMB-1075 and a nice RA-1062. All in silver, all work flawlessly. Saved myself a bundle.

I bought my Aragon amp from Audiogon as well. Definite improvement even at lower volume levels for my M80's. More punch, less muddled, cleaner bass.
