    Which would you choose to drive a pair of 805S?

    Hi all. I am new here - the information is terrific.

    I have an opportunity to purchase a Lexicon RV-8 for a price comparable to a Rotel 1098/1095 combination (my initial choice). I have an initial bias against recievers (particularly at this price point), but I have read great things about the Lexicon, and it is being offered at a substantial deal.

    While I am a bit concerned about the upgrade path from the RV-8, I am looking to maximize sound quality. Will the Lexicon outperform the Rotel combo? The system is for two-channel and non-dedicated home theater (DVDs, TV). The rest of the system is B&W 805S, HTM3S, and B&W surrounds (TBD), Velodyne DD-15.

    Thanks for any guidance. Paul

      Rotel 1068 Initial impressions vs. Lexicon DC-1
      by spkerguy
      Hello everyone,

      I just hooked the 1068 up last Friday and probably have spent a good 10 hours with it so far. The unit I was coming from was a lexicon DC-1 (latest V4. 1999) that had the center channel and sub inputs blown so getting the center and sub back was refreshing. ...

      Rotel Separates v. Lexicon Receiver??
      by PDP
      I stopped in at my local dealer over the weekend fully intending to buy a Rotel 1098/1095 combination.

      I was offered a deal on the Lexicon RV-8 for slightly more than I would need to pay for the Rotels (a substantial deal on the Lexicon). The dealer is recommending the Lexicon as superior...

      Lexicon or Meridian G8J Processor?
      by spkerguy
      Hello everyone,

      If you had to choose between lexicon and meridian for a processor, which would you choose and why? I'm between the MC-8 and a meridian G8J processor.

      THanks,

      Lexicon MC-12, weekend review
      by Lex
      Hello all. Well, I've had the Lexicon MC-12 since Thursday evening, setting it up late that night. In case you missed the pics in my housecleaning thread, here they are again: I will likely be adding to this review this week. But I wanted to at least get something on paper now for those inquiring minds....
