    Rotel and B&W FPM Series

    I rarely see information from owners of these speakers, but I recently got some and have a small question. They were being power by a denon 1803, and I recently bought a Rotel RSX 1055 and was amazed! Is like I have new speakers.

    I went with the RSX 1055 over the RSX 1056 becuase i have no need for video switching/upconversion, and got a deal i couldnt refuse on a demo. My question is becuase my speakers are rated at 150 watts and the 1055 can output 75 would there be any sound inprovement by going to a 1068/1075 comdo if I oonly plan on listening to the speakers at low to med levels?

    I know most of you will say go audition, but the problem is there is no place to do a comparison with my specifc speakers, so I would be buying blind.

    If anyone out there has B&W FPM powered by Rotel I would be very interested in hearing from you.

      I ran the FPM as a center channel underneath my Plasma wall mount. It was awesome for what it was. I also had ccm80 as mains and ccm65 (?) as ceiling mount surrounds. I know that it was not the greatest setup, but it was my first. They were all powered by a yamaha receiver. At the time, all of my neighbors were amazed by the sound (especially of the center fpm). I now switched the fpm for Htm3s and the ccm80s for the 803s.... Since i have the fpm laying around in a closet, I will switch it out with the htm3s and let you know how it sounds as center channel with my rotel 1068/1095 combo.

          wow that would be great!

          Myself and friends are amazed with the quality of these speakers. I bought them 50% for quality and 50% for looks and my expectations for sound were far surpased.

              I would just say that they require a subwoofer that has the ability to extended into the midbass region tightly.. i.e. 8 inch or 10 in...... definitely they are not well matched for REL subs which are meant to be crossed over at 28hz or so...

                  Bi-amping with RSX-1055 and RMB-1075
                  by 4_everyman
                  I want to use an RMB-1075 in a bi-amp configuration to drive my center front and center back speakers. The speakers are Polk CSi40s and they have two sets of terminals, so they are bi-amp/bi-wire capable. My receiver is an RSX-1055.

                  The RSX-1055 has two center channel pre-amp outputs...

                  by srinathalapati
                  Folks,

                  I own a RSX-1055 and I am planning to buy an amplifier (Audio Source AMP100) to power outdoor speakers. I was reading the RSX-1055 manual about zone 2 operation and it confused me a bit. I am looking for some clarification from the experts here. On page 25 in the manual it says:...
