New RX-1052 stereo receiver...any reviews or comments??

[Tha Freak]

Is there any one here that own one?

any reviews available?

Is it worth it or better with combo or integrated??

Need a 2ch upstairs ant now I don't have a pricey budjet...

It also has multi room, video capabilities...

well...is it worth it? or should I spend a grand on a used combo or integrated??

Thanks!!

I bought an RX-1052 and RCD-1072 about 2 months ago. I don't listen to radio much and had gone to the store with the intention of buying the RA-1062 but these two pieces had just come back (about a month old) in an upgrade trade-in and I got them both for a couple hundred less than what the RA-1062 and RCD-1072 would have cost me new.

I haven't been able to find any reviews of the RX-1052 anywhere either. I think it sounds great (my B&W 620i speakers have a whole new lease on life) but since what I got replaced a 20-year-old Yamaha A-500 integrated and a cheapo JVC CD player, I suppose anything would sound like a major improvement to me.

Anyway, for basic 2-channel listening, which is all I care about, I think it works great, and I don't hear anything missing that separates in the same price range might provide.
