Upgrade ..HK 520 to 1066...

[Greg K]

Hey guys...Ive been thinking about a major upgrade,would like some opinions on it.My current system is a Harmon Kardon AVR 520,with a Rotel
1070 amp for the front channels,a Rava sub,and Mordaunt Short MS908 front speakers.I'm looking at getting a 1066 HT processor and the Rotwl 120w 5 channel amp.Seeing how this will run $2500+,will it be that much better??The 1070 amp made a big difference,but not sure how much it would be with the Rotel processor and better rear channel amps.Or should I just hold off a while and go for a 1098?

Thanks
Greg

Yes I'd say the 1066/1075 combo would be a big step up from the HK520. I noticed a large gain in clarity when I went from the HK PA5800 amp to the Rotel 1075.
