    Moving to House and can't find a reason to upgrade from FPMs

    Just when I thought I was done with the upgrade issue and built my dream system (for appartment use), I have decided to buy a house in the next 6 months to a year. I currently have B&W FPMs with a PV1 sub and love the look and sound of the system. I have to admit I havent auditioned the 700 or 800 series, but I am curious to know from those of you who have what I am missing as compared the FPMs.

    I have heard that there is a "loss" in the FPMs becuase of the slim design, but I have to say with the right sub it sure doesnt sound like anything is lost to me. The only issue I have now is they are being powered by a Rotel RSX 1067, and I have never heard my speakers past 70% of what they can do.

    I guess my question is when moving to a house in a situation where I can really crank my music and HT will moving away from FPMs to the 700 series or higher be a segnificant difference? I guess it can go without saying that there would be in the 800 series...and at that point I would also want to trade up the RSX 1067.

    by Nolan B
    At present I have a 1067 powering my B&W FPMs. Id like to make a change but need to understand bi amping first.

    Would it be better to sell the 1067 and buy a 1068 (or equivilant when new format comes) and 1077?

    Would it be better to keep the 1067 and some how Bi amp...

    I need some advice.

    Ultimately i want to buy a SSP 800, but with recent renos and other factors I dont have 8k I can drop at the moment. The problem is seeing my 5100 out on the open on its own creates a huge hole for a class processor

    Moving to Rotel
    by Allend
    I want to replace my Denon 5600 receiver with a Rotel 1067. I have NHT 2.9's for my mains AC2 for the center and 1.5's for surrounds. I use 2 Parasound 2200 amps in my system now. One drives my L/R speaker and the other ones drives my center and 16-46 SVS. The other two channels I run off of the 5600....

    RSX-1067 or RSX-1056 from a RSP1066
    by lvs
    I am moving away from separates to simplify my Home Theater a bit, and just sold an ATI 1506 and Rotel RSP-1066. I am looking for a comparable-in-quality receiver to replace the separates. It sounds like the pre-amp sections are the same on each RSX receiver and equivalent feature-wise (connections...

    by liberec
    Hello,

    Here's my situation that I'd like anyone's thoughts on. I want to put together a home theater system (from scratch as I sold all my 2 channel geat), but as I'm in the middle of moving from Chicago to NY, I've decided to build what I want in steps.

    So here's where...
