I use this power amp with the Yamaha amp below (RX-V657). What a combination! I have always wanted to own a Rotel RB-985 and finally managed to when one came up on Trademe. I paid a good price for it but one channel is doggee. The seller didn't want to discuss it (nice way of saying he didn't want a bar of it). So I use the Rotel to drive the 3 front channels and the rear surround channels are driven using the inbuild Yamaha rear surround amps. This works well and probably gives me a bit more than the 100 watts per channel for 5 channels that the Rotel puts out. The RB-985 is a few years old now but still sounds very good to my ears. The Yamaha is a great preamp, I recommend it.
