Myer-Emco here in N. VA have their private sale even soon, and I think I am ready to purchase 1057 in order to complete my HT system. I currently have:
Rotel RB-1080 Power Amp
Rotel RC-1070 Pre-Amp
Rotel RCD-1072 Cd player
Axiom M60ti speakers
Rel Q150E Sub
PS3
SilverCats Interconnects
SignalCable bi-wire 10g speaker cable
Belkin PureAV PF60 power console
Samsung DLP 46"
Harmony 880 universal remote
I plan to add Axiom QS8s for rear speakers (wall mount at my back wall) and Axiom center.
I have a few questions though:
1 - Will I lose sound quality for stereo playback by using 1057 as a pre and my RB-1080 amp, as compared to my current pre RC-1070? I know that 1057 has an extra 2 channels available to be used with an external amp, and that's what I plan to do.
2 - Somebody suggested that I plug everything (PS, cable HD box, DVD player) to the 1057 and then run an HDMI cable from the 1057 to my DLP tv. Would this work just as running HDMI cable directly from PS3 to the TV? Is it a big deal that 1057 only supports 1.1 HDMI and not 1.3?
3 - Finally, any suggestion on HT installers in N. VA, DC and MD are to install my rear speaker in the wall, with speaker cables inside the wall? I am not very handy on this matters.
I'd really appreciate your advise guys, and always in the past in this forum.
