Maybe it had something to do with me using my Denon as a pre-pro, not sure.

I hope ill be trouble free,...I havent had a good amp in quite a while....... I am selling my rotel rb1090, as i keep clipping it, it runs out of power way to soon at 4 ohms, and it says it has 780 into 4 ohm and like 1.5 of headroom, so i dont see the full out 780 watts, as im clipping way to soon. does my pre-amp having 14v of gain make a difference..?

What dB level are you hitting when it's clipping? As I understand it, the RB1090 is a pretty damn powerful amp.

Hi Arkticdeth,
It's possible to clip the output of a preamp if you run the gain too high, which would result in audible distortion from your amplifier, in your case the Rotel. Where are you setting the preamp volume control?

Further comment: A "preamp" is just a smaller amplifier that supplies gain, like any amplifier, and it can also be driven into clipping. Moreover, if you crank the preamp gain too high, it may overload the input circuitry of the power amplifier.

I find it hard to belive the rotel 1090 would have issues, isn't that the one Wid and RickF use, and they have m80's...
Your Rotel is better than the Emotiva stuff, in my opinion...

No Randy, we both use the 300w+(4 ohm) RB-1080 ... which is a less powerful amp. I've never heard anyone on any other forum ever having clipping issues with a 1090, that thing is a 100lb 2 channel beast.
I had to read twice to make sure it was indeed a 1090 he was referring to.

Try a different pre amp, the one your using has to much voltage gain.

That is what I thought, there must be something wrong, that Rotel should not break a sweat.
