I like to disagree with Alan....because....well.....cause it's fun and he doesn't seem to like Onkyo very much! but I can't on this one! Just kidding Alan.

About a year ago I went upgrade goofy and bought a Rotel RB-1090 which is a 380 watt a side monster of an amp. 700 watts a side into 4 ohms! I got it home unpacked it, hooked it up and after a few weeks it went back. It was cool to say I was pushing 700 watts a side but the overall difference it made in sound was to me not worth the investment.
