Your Front Rear setup is the same as mine. Furthermore, I was using a 3801 receiver connecter to a RMB1075. This setup was a little on the edgie side for my tast. I just moved to a Sunfire TGA-5200 (200x5). My 703's never sounded so good. If you look, you can find the TGA-7200 (200x7) as low as $2,800.00.

It was the best Bang for Buck deal I found.

Style,

Also consider the Rotel RMB-1077 7 channel class D amplifer for US $2,199 RRP. It will easily drive the 703 based system. If you chose not to go 7 channel you can use the spare 2 channels to bi-amp the 703s

@ Geof,

Rotel RMB1077 is a good ampli and is sure a possible solution.
In this moment buy a rmb1077 :
controllet from a Denon 3805 (repair costing $ 500) or rotel 1068 --> new 1069 come soon!!!!!!!

and RB1092 for front channel.

For movie Velodyne SPL1000R or B&W 750 ???

Omar,

I am not sure I understand your questions.

Rotel RMB1077 is a good ampli and is sure a possible solution.

and RB1092 for front channel.

Are you asking do you repair your Denon 3805 and add a RMB-1077 as the amp or wait for the RSX-1069 reciever?

What are the costs of these options in your country?

Have you considered a third option of the RSP-1068 or 1069 with the RMB-1077?

For movie Velodyne SPL1000R or B&W 750 ???

I'd definitely get the B&W ASW-750 - it's a better musical match for the 703s (Even though the Velodyne is a nice HT sub)

@Geoff,


I have a Denon3805 : repair cost = €. 400.-
next step: rmb 1077 buy and later replace the Denon3805 with the new rotel rsp1069.
I think is not a good affair in september 2006 buy a rsp1068.

step 2. rmb1092 for set: RMB1077 + RMB1092 controllet from RSP1069-1068

I hope kann you understand and say my what do you think about this.

Thank's Omar

Omar,

I understand and think it is a great idea... You'ld love the RB-1092 amps and waiting for the 1069 makes a lot of sense... An other option would be a second hand Rotel RSP1056 rather than repair the Denon - but this would only be worth it if the price difference was small compared to repairing the denon... Second had RSP-1056s have good resale value...

Geoff,

The combo Rotel RSP1069 + RMB 1077 & RMB 1092 ist really Top (for me)

In Switzerland is not so simply a second had have/find (and whit the rotel name ...)

Ok, that live... I buy the rmb1077 at first and dann the other component..

Sub B&W750 is really so better same for music comparet at Velodyne SPL1000R? I have all speakers B&W and B&W sub is really
"the right armony solution" ?

Thank'you

Yes - IMO for music (and appearance) the B&W ASW 750 is a much better choice for your system, than the Velodyne SPL 1000R. You would need to get more like a Velodyne DD12 - which is very good, but in most countires outside the USA, up to twice the price of the B&W.
