Hi Guys,
I have posted in the past about Rotel but ended up with a Primare ht amp which I did like but was frustrating to use and frustratingly unreliable so it's been sold and I'm back to Rotel again.
My plan is to have a 2 ch and surround using the same speakers but with a ht amp for ht and 2 amp of some description for music. I did want to go for something like a Bryston 2bsst to power the fronts and have a ht amp for a pre and surround speaker power and one which can re-route the front power to the rear channels. I'm after some opinions regarding different configurations. Firstly I have to choose a ht receiver and have a choice of a discounted 1055 at AU$1300 or a 1065 at AU$1900. My room is 14 foot square and I have Epos speakers so power is not a huge issue. At these prices is the 1065 worth the extra? I understand that technically the 1055 is superior in terms of processing than the 1065 and the 1065 won't re-direct the power amps.
Will the 1055 prove to be an adequate pre amp for 2 ch (compared to the Primare)?
Is the 1056 all that much better than the 1055?
Does anybody have experience with Bryston vs Rotel amps?
Sorry for the long post but there is so much to consider and the discount prices end this week.
Regards,
Glen
