    Another question about the 1056 vs. 1068

    I know this topic has been discussed before but I need some help. I just recently upgrade for the rsx-965 to the rsx-1056. I also just got the rmb-1075 amp to go with the 1056 and it sounds great. But I just started thinking the other day that I am still within my trade-up time period, so should I spend the extra $400 and go with the 1068 or stay with the 1056? Is it worth the extra $. Thanks.

    Trade up to the 1068, and get the RB-1080 if you listen to 2 channel stereo (ensure you have the room). Do you use your tuner and the other extras that come with the 1056?

    That's just w/o knowing your current setup, you will need to provide speaker info and specs, if you really want viable feedback.

    You also need to hear the difference, can you test drive the 1068? After all it's your money, and your listening experience that really counts.

    Regards,

      No I do not use the tuner that often. My current setup is as follows:

      Fronts: Paradigm monitor 7
      Center: Paradigm CC370
      Rears: Paradigm mini monitors
      Sub: Paradigm PW2000

        I did a head to head between the 1068 and 1056 prior to purchase, 2 channel was my primary concern so I was willing to spend the extra $, and give up the on board tuner, and amplification to get what I was after. If 2 channel is you're primary concern, swap it, if not, stick with what you have. As Azeke says, it's you're money.

          For 2-channel, would you pick rc-1070 or rsp-1068? are they different as day and night? (i'm talking about audio only, no video).

          thanks.

            I owned an RC-1070 with my RSX-1055 (didn't like the 1055 2 channel) and opted for the 1068 for the best of both so to speak. The 1068 and 1070 to me were one in the same for 2 channel. Isn't this fun, decisions, decisions......

              In that case rc-1070 can save more bucks for CD.. Anyway, i think i will head to dealer for audition on both rsp-1068 and rc-1070. I want to setup a room for 2-channel music only as i already own rb-1080 and rcd-1072. And my denon 3805 will serve as HT only...

                Anyone using RSX-1056 with Paradigm Monitors?
                by mtodde
                I have the upgrade bug and will be replacing my Polk (RT600 front, RT 2.5 rear, CS245I center) speakers in about a month. I am also considering upgrading my H/K AVR-525 and am considering the Marantz 7500 & 8500, the 1056 & NAD.

                I'm curious about the results you've had with the...

                Hello All,

                Is this a good relationship?

                &
                PARADIGM STUDIO 100'S v2

                When I was in the store he was going to use DYNAUDIO for a demo. I didn't want to hear that relationship. We ended up with ROTEL & ENGERGY. BOY, it was a major...

                Just wanted to say "Hello" and thanks for all the info I've gleaned so far.


                I have a B&O system 5000 and DCM TF-500 speakers (floorstanders), into which hooked my Mitsu 20" monitor, all circa 1986. I've been planning their replacements for a long, looong while....

                Hi, I was hoping that you could help me work through a problem that I am experiencing with my system.

                First of all – Here’s my set-up (purchased in early February of this year..)

                by Scherr
                I have a Denon AVR-2800 running Paradigm studio 40's, 20's, and CC, v.2, and a PW-2200. Since the Denon 2800 only has preouts for the fronts and center and I use the "B" speaker input for a second zone so I need a new receiver rather then adding just an amp.

                I am leaning toward...
