Confused - Don't know which reciever to get with my DM603s

[Musfather]

Hey guys
Don't know which reciver to get im very confused
I use 70% HT/Movies

I am getting
Front - DM603s
Cent - LCR600
Rear - DM600

With reciever to get?
ROTEL RSX-1057
or
Yamaha RX-V2600

It depends if you want the various whiz bang type features of the Yammy, or the better amplification and sonics of the Rotel... Also, I believe the 2600 is much cheaper, if that's a factor.

I'm not sure how well the Rotel handles HDMI audio, or if it's video only, which also could be a factor.

Hi! My understanding is that room calibration /with parametric equalizers/is a must for any system. Most listening rooms are far from perfect acoustically and being able to "patch" the signal at some critical frequancies is a big plus. If Rotel does not have it - I PERSONALLY would not even consider it. Yamaha 4600 is better than 2600 in terms of amplification plus it has i-link for all the digital media, incl SACD and DVD-A. So if your Yammy's internal amp won't properly drive B&W 603 /which I doubt/ you will always be able to buy a power amp. Rotel is known for their affordable amps. But there are a lot of recievers out there - not just Yammy & Rotel - lots to choose from :W

What about Harman/Kardon?

I have 603S3 and I am in the process of collecting full configuration from the 600 series. I have HK 235 and I am very happy with it so far. Wonder whether it will keep up with the full configuration though.

Power amplifier

Forgot to mention that on another forum got advice to look for Parasound amplifier if such addtion will be needed.
