      I know how you feel, From my research the ref 50 is the way to go
      major reason is the motorola chip, unless of course you want the lcd screen on the 1098. Also, within weeks rotel is coming out with the 1068.
      B&K dropped the price to increase sales vs production. They have traditionally released a new pre-processor every 18 months so it is concievable and likely a new model is on the horizon. I don't know what the matter with this forum is but try Home Theater Spot for better response.

          does it matter if a new model is coming out? if this is the case, you'll probably spend most of your time waiting for the next great thing.

          look at the ref 50 for what it is and it's capabilities. for the price, i cannot see how the rotel 1098 is "better" than the ref 50.

          anyhow, i bit the bullet and went with the ref 50. i was actually considering the rotel 1055/1066/1065, but the price drop of the ref 50 made it a clear choice for me. so far, i have not regretted the decision. according to several reviews, there are shortcomings, but i certainly couldn't tell.

          good luck on your decision!

              B&K Ref 50
              by ajpoe
              I see that there isn't much activity here so I thought I'd throw this out there and see if may be some different readers have some opinions to offer. I posted a similar thread on the general HT forum prior to doing as much research. I've read in previous posts about the issues with the popping and clicking....

              NuForce Ref 9's
              by gostan
              After demoing various amplifiers over the past year, I made the decision to upgrade to the NuForce Ref 9's, which were delivered this past Friday. I thought that I would post my initial impressions as this product is rather new and has been the subject of some interesting responses on the two existing...

              REF 50 dropping audio
              by Russ359
              Hi. New to the this forum. Has any had problems with their REF 50 dropping audio for a second or so? I have a REF 30 up upgraded to the latest REF 50 ( about a week ago). My satellite feed is from a Direct TV HD TiVO. While listening the REF occasionally drops sound for a second. I know it is the REF...

              Ref 50 v Ref 31?
              by MannyE
              Hello!

              I have a Ref 30 preamp which I am considering sending to B&K for the 500 buck upgrade to a Ref 31 (which I have been told is essetially a Ref 50 without the XLR connectors).

              Is there any advantage to just buying a Ref 50 from ebay instead? What (besides the...
