do power amps need a break in time to perform better I bought a rotel rb 1582 mkll not very impressed

No and no again. What are you comparing it to?

There are some changes when a circuit is first powered on but it should stabilize within a few seconds. The quality control effort at the factory took care of that.

I see no reason to be impressed with any amplifier. These days they don't color the sound so what fails to impress you is something other than the amplifier.

I think that your poll is broken.

But in any case amplifiers don't need burn-in time. (some tube amps excepted)

Welcome.

What do you mean by not very impressive?
What were you expecting?
What speakers, room setup do you have? How large is the room?
What did you have before this amp?
