RE: Rotel RB 1582 Mark 1 Vs Mark 2 Differences

Do you have to have the balanced inputs?
I know I'm in the minority here but balance inputs are nothing more than a new pitch to sell someone that already has a great stereo, yet another one.
Those were designed for long runs, studios, microphones, etc..
It would be more important that the amp properly matches with the rest of your system.
Now I will have to hide for a few weeks after I get flamed for saying such words.
