Not a fan of Rotel (or the Rotel sound) myself, but that doesn't mean anything other than my own opinion.

Something you may not know...Very common, even in mid-hi-fi amps is that they will run at 125 watts to 2 channels w/ an 8 ohm load...add you using 4 of the channels you'll be lucky to get 90-95 watts per channel (something to think about) + the 4 ohm load could make things even worse, well harder on your amp and in return your Maggies.

Don't want to rain on your parade. From what I gather, you've had some hi fi components in the past, so you know the unfortunate sh** that comes up when buying a new piece of equipment.

Good luck to ya...hope it works out better than what I just said...otherwise, sell that amp and get a 2 channel amp (SS or tube) whatever fits your bill the best.

Take care,

Jon
