I need advice, and I was impressed with the knowledge base on these forums, so...
I am trying to put it all together. I have: Polk Monitor 70's (x2), Polk CS2, Paradigm Mini MkII (x2, for surrounds), and Boston A60 Series II (x2, for surrounds), in a 7.1 configuration (all are 8 ohms).
I'm trying to decide between a mid-level used Yamaha receiver, say a RX-V757, and a used Rotel pre/pro system (RMB 1075 (5ch) or RB 985 (5ch) amp, and RSP 1066 processor).
I don't care about HDMI, I'm happy to do that separately, but I prefer to have optical and at least some decoding (DTS/DD) for playing the PS3. So for me, tech within the last 10 years is fine, since I primarily listen to music and care more about quality.
Is getting a used Rotel system worth it? Or is it so far above and beyond my speaker system that I won't notice the difference? Any advice is appreciated.
