I'm buying the RSX 1056. My question is, can I use my BBE sound processor when listening to 2 channel stereo? If yes, where do I plug it in? Thanks guys.

Depending on how you're going to use it, it can go in the preamp outputs, a tape monitor loop, or a processor loop.

Sleeper,
I personally am not so sure you can use your sound processor with the latest Rotel line of recievers. I'd tripple check to be sure if it is important to you. For example my Rotel 1098 does not have a tape monitor loop function - so while you could connect your processor through th etape out and tape in you couldn't hear it that way, and if you used the pre-outs, sure you could plug the sound processor into an input of the reciver - but I am not sure how easy it would be to select it as an input - since as soon as you did, you would loose the source that was coming out of the pre-outs - a catch 22!
My "gut feel" is you need to go separates if this is important to you - get a 1068 processor and 1075 amplifier - more money - but way more flexibility....
Here is a LINK TO THE MANUAL for the RSX-1056 for you to check / see for yourself.

After hearing it again this afternoon, my final thought would be NOT to use the BBE. I brought more of my own CD's to the store and I'm really happy with the sound quality. Again, I'd say, FORGET the BBE. I don't need it.Comment

That's good because it appears that you can't use any outboard processor with this receiver,Again, I'd say, FORGET the BBE. I don't need it.
I just love it when mfgrs give you every video switching option on the planet, and don't provide the even basics for audio.
FWIW, I'd never buy any product that says 8 ohm minimium for the speakers. That's nuts!

Sleeper_Red,
A happy ending..
Most people find they loose interest in tone controls, equalisers etc once they get good quality sound. The only component that is still sometimes justified is a bass parametric equaliser (like the Behringer Feedback Destroyer) to tame any weird peaks and troughs in the deep bass in your room - and that can be connected through the Sub out easily. But with careful sub placement (and luck) most people can get away without even this.
Enjoy your new toy!

I like what the BBE Sonic Maximizer does for music.
Now that I'm getting near completing my subs, I'll be using a DEQ2496 in line with the LFE out on my receiver....and my BBE processor will only be available for my mains :cry: . Can the DEQ simulate what the BBE does? If not I may buy the... -
I have a BBE 482 sonic maximizer that's been sitting in my closet and decided to give it a try 2 days ago. My system includes Rotel RSX-1056, B&W 705 mains, HTM7 center, 601 rears and SVS 20-39 sub. I like listening to 2 channel a lot. I hooked up the BBE between the Sony DVD player and the receiver...19 January 2005, 05:00 Wednesday -
Any of you folks have any experience with this (once touted, and still in some circles) circuitry/application that was some kind of "Reflection Deflection and/or Deadening) apparatus?

Hi guys,
3 days ago, I ordered my RCD-1072 after reading reviews and comments on the internet. I'm the one using a $130 Sony DVD/CD player. Will let you know how it is. My setup:

Guys,
I've only been listening for a total of about 55 minutes and all I can say is WOW!!! If you guys tell me that it's gonna get better than this after a couple of days, you're just gonna make me happier. At first, it sounded like there's something wrong with it. After about 45 minutes, I won't...
