Finally got my hands on a sweet RT-1080 from audiogon. Goes great with my RSP-1068/RMB1075/RB-1070. Just waiting for the final piece. A Rotel SACD/DVD-A player. I know they don't make one yet, but hopefully soon. I wasn't planning on all this gear, so now I'll have to rebuild my rack. Maybe I should have bought a surround sound receiver instead. Naaaaaaaaaaa. :twisted:

Congrats!
When you get some time, how about your impressions og the RDV-1080?
Would also be interested in knowing what you think of Redbook CD performance. -
Congrats also. I'm possibly in the market for an RT-1080. The tuner that I'm using at the moment is a (significantly) older RT-850A. Do you mind posting some sort of review (perhaps with a comparision to CD performance) -my biggest prob. with the 850 is that the sound is hugely compressed in comparision with my RCD-1072. It's to be expected I guess, but if I get a new tuner, I want it to have a dynamic range approaching that of my CD player.

Rotel never does anything 'soon' but when it comes out you know it'll be good, I'm hoping for dedicated SACD/CD myself, here's hoping!Originally posted by DelRayComment

Taito,
I can't imagine that the sound is compressed by the tuner.
I think it's the radio station that's doing the compression.

My first impression is, how nice it looks. I was really keeping an eye out for a tuner on e-bay. Wanted a rotel for sure, but which one. A couple of silver RT-1080 were sold, but not a black one. After looking long and hard at the different Rotel tuners, I knew I had to get the RT-1080. It is a perfect match for the RSP-1068. As well as the other 10XX equip.
It's been awhile since I had a radio in the tv room, so the new sound seems really open and clear. I live in a more rural area, so not alot of stations to choose from. From what I can tell though, is how well the stereo seperation is with the strong stations. CD like in that aspect. As far as overall sound goes. Comparing it to a CD, Don't know. Radio stations really compress their music. And the frequency response is narrow also. Next up will be a new antenna. I have a tv antenna in the attic that I'm using strictly for FM. It's not the greatest though. I think getting a good FM antenna will make a big difference in sound quality too.
I have no reservations about spending the money to get the RT-1080. Very happy with it. One thing for sure. I can pick up more stations than my old receiver used to.Comment

Hello,
I'm nearing the completion of our new family/ht room. I ended up using Triad speakers for the front 3 as well as the 2 side surrounds. For the back surrounds I am using 2 Niles in-ceiling speakers.
I plan on getting a Rotel 1066 and 1075 amp. The 1075 would obviously... -
I'm nearing cabinet completion on the Stentorians.
I have decided to go with a double thick baffle using 3/4" ply.
I started from the first front baffle and went from there. Glue, clamp, wait, repeat.
Since I can't add the chamfer after the fact, should I make... -
Running the RT1080 with a 1068 and have everything working great except the "RDS and RDBS Reception" information. The manual states that by hitting display repeatedly, one should be able to set what is displayed on the 1080. I simply want the Standard (choice 1) Frequency Display but it... -
Hi Folks,
Seems like a pretty big following here for Rotel.
If you've always wanted to control your equipment from your computer/graphic user interface, touchscreen or tablet pc, but thought it was cost prohibitive, think again.
We've got a free plugin available... -
As some of you know I just bought a RT-1080 tuner. I received it friday and have been working on a program to control it and view it. So far I have gotten the text from the display screen working pretty well. You see just what you see on the actual unit but there are a few bugs.
