Just a quick reminder: the Home THX standard was originally conceived by Lucasfilm to ensure a quality benchmark for AV components.The front-end processing adds a gamut of tweaks to the audio signal. When it comes to power amps the basic Lucasfilm ethos states:The power amplifiers should be unconditionally stable, have a power output in excess of 100W per channel into 8 ohms, have low distortion and wide dynamic range. The quote is from Lucasfilms Home THX Design And Licensing Manual..Because power amps are hidden from sight, some makers give little mind to their performance, both on external and integrated amps.Against this background comes the Rotel RB 985 - a 5 x 100W power amplifier that delivers a mighty 40 Amps peak current and is THX-approved.Rotels philosophy appears to be that amplification is everything - yet it need not cost a fortune. The company is into making black boxes where the outside is plain yet the inside reflects quality sonic design.Boring Black BoxIn terms of buttons theres not much to see. A mains switch - thats all. You also have five protection LEDs (one per channel) that light briefly at power-up and illuminate should the amplifier overheat.Around the back are RCA Jacks for five channels plus a female DB25 input that groups them all together. Used alongside a THX (or processor) with a DB25 output, it makes interconnection very neat and tidy.Top marks to Rotel for making a multi-channel amplifier that sounds great as well as suiting the pocket. Given that you get five channels of lush attack - an instant upgrade from the compromises found in integrated amps - asking price is very fair.If you are in the market for a punchy upgrade to your Pro-Logic outfit or are seeking THX slam without spending silly money, lend your ears to this brilliant black box. Excellent Condition, one owner Unit ,Fully Tested
