I've got the upgrade bug... I currently have an Onkyo TX-SR800 running my Paradigm system. I have Studio 60s v3 for fronts, CC-470 and ADP-470s for surrounds. I am looking at the Rotel vs. the B&K and my local dealer said that for the extra $300 MSRP the B&K was a no brainer. I also know some dealers tend to lean toward a certain line they carry. I like the idea of both hardware and software upgrades, but at this point I'm only running 5.1 and if I did make an upgrade, it would simply be to a 7.1 system with some studio 20s in the rear. I'm guessing (hoping rather) that when it comes time to upgrade to anything more than that, it would be way down the road and beyond the point of just doing a software or hardware upgrade anyway. The dealer also pointed out that the remote with the B&K is top notch. I am thinking the Rotel 1075 amp is the way to go regardless of processor, and if I ever do upgrade, go with a 2 channel amp for the fronts. So, with that being said, what do you more experienced recommenend? I personally like the looks of the Rotel 1068 better especially if I get the 1075, and I'm trying to minimalize my costs, so is the extra money for the B&K really worth it? Also, is there anything else out there in this price range that I should be considering? From what I've read, Rotel seems to be the most bang for the buck and very high quality, especially when it comes to amps.
