Any of you RSP-1098 owners have a review for the waiting masses yet?

[Danbry39]

Thanks for the pictures Danam.

I have a question though. On the one picture with the big screen, what's the story of all those speakers? Just curious.

well the "show" happened in a reseller's store, and we were in his "hi-end" auditorium, these speakers are the medium range speakers you can listen too with any electronics plugged.
so the customers can choose their entire system from the pre-amp to the power amp to the speakers and mix everything ...
somtimes u can hear them complain about how tight their are in this room but when feed by good electronics, they calm down immediatly !

Not my set, but a pic I saw somewhere:

The 1098 shares the same chassis size as the RSX1055

Hey Scarp, nice tower rack. Did you make that yourself or did you buy it? If you bought it, what is the name of the manufacturer? I need something identical to this because it seems adjustable and it looks sharp. Please advise.

Thanks....

Wow Scarp that's a nice rack! Can you give us some info on this beauty? Price, name, is it possible to order it on the net? With all those Rotel, it's an awesome eye-candy!

Thank you.

The rack has one big open space for a RMB1095

Sorry guys for this thread, but I cant seem to PM message on a person that I want. This is for ylim though.
ylim since we are from the same country, theres a few question on where you got your 1098, the shop name and how much you got it in Singapore dollars. I've owned a 1066 and have thought about upgrading to 1098.

[YLIM]

Hi Zeppelin,

Would say that the 1098 is a big upgrade especially on the HT side, though it takes some time to burn in and seems sensitive to interconnects (even powercords), so need to spend quite a bit of time tweaking. In my system, it seems to sound a bit brighter than the 1066, but maybe because the processors resolve a lot more detail, especially on the rear channels - may be something to bear in mind if your system/room are on the bright side already. I've managed to get mine to sound warmer byswitching some interconnects, isolation for the components etc, but it does take time and effort (and maybe some money!).

I'll send you an e-mail - assume the e-mail address in your profile is correct.
