Hi everyone. After a few weeks of research i have decided to buy the Rotel rsx-1055 to replace my aging Denon avr-2700. I will be picking it up in 2 weeks and will let everyone know my thoughts on it at that time.
Until i read the posts here i was planning on upgrading to the Denon 3803. I listened to the Rotel at a local stereo shop and liked what i heard. The owner said that the rsx-1055 would be a much better upgrade than the 3803. The wattage defference between the two was a mild concern until i read the posts here. I discovered what all of you must already know, when Rotel says 75x5 they mean it. Also, the build and sound quality in my opinion are much better with the Rotel.
My system specs are:
Rotel rsx-1055 (soon)
Denon DVD-1600
Paradigm Studio 20's (mains and rears)
Paradigm cc-370
Paradigm Ps-1000
Just wanted to thank all of you for your help in this decision. I am new to forums in general and i found this one to be incredibly informative.
