would rotel 1055 be an upgrade from nad 320bee for 2.1 listening?

[hybridauth_Facebook_10205889565092773]

is the rotel 1055 an upgrade over nad 320bee for 2.1 listening?

I currently have b&w602 mains.... the 1055 is stupid cheap on ebay, was considering getting it fo hometheater moded, but was wondering if my 2.1 setup I would notice a diff?

If so what kind of difference would I notice?

Thankls

I don't know if it would be an upgrade but it does seem to have LFE out which would require less cables to get the sub to work than the amp you currently have. But have you looked at your other post for responses there?

Not heard the receiver in question. But Rotel (generalising) to be very open and detailed, whereas Nads are usually bass heavy and lack a little transparency in comparative terms. So there is a difference between the two, but the bigger question is not which'll be better but what sound you prefer.

BTW, Rotel and B&W are a fabulous combination, but ultimately it'll hinge on my above comments.
