More 2ch Questions

[MarkR]

There seems to be a few people asking questions about trying to improve on the 2ch from their 1055/1056, so here is mine.

I presently am runnining a 1055/1080 combo which I am happy with but....

I do have a RA-980BX int amp, would the pre amp on this sound any better than the 2ch from my 1055? I know the obvious answer is to plug it in and listen but I am using it to bi-amp my centre channel as the pre amp is down on the left channel ( I don't think it is an expensive fix, I am pretty sure the stereo/mono switch is the culprit).

What has really prompted me into action is there is a Rotel RH-C10 selling at a local online auction for not much more than the possible cost of repair on my 980BX.

So here are the options
1: Do nothing save more pennies
2: Repair the RA-980BX
3: Buy the RH-C10

FWIW my money is on #3, any other opinions out there?

newb, what you ask is so subjective. I initially went from a Yamaha ht reciever with carver power amps. When I tripped over Rotel and purchased my 1st piece being the RSP-980, the sound difference was amazing, bar nothing. I then went to the RSX-1055 for 5 channel, I felt it lacked 2 channel so I bought an RC-1070 to go with it, and it was better, just no wheres near the difference of going from Yamaha/ Carver to Rotel. I feel comfortable making a "major" change based on opinion, but, when it comes to "fine tuning" my system, I like to hear that in my enviroment versus opinions driving my descisions. Take this for what it is worth, and enjoy the ride, its a fun one.
