I was trying to get a Rotel receiver (you can read the thread I started yesterday). If I had the money for RSX-1067, I would have rather gotten RSP-1068/RMB-1075 combo. Separates are generally better than receivers. Others may chime for their suggestions.- Bottom

Separates are generally better, yes. However, if you want to go with tht ebest bargain with minamal loss n comparison, go with a RSX-1056 receiver and then add an RB-1080 and use that to run your front mains. That will be the same price roughly as your RSX-1067 but with a tremendous upgrade in sound quality for 2 channel and even HT as well.- Bottom

I have been looking at the 1067 as well based on my local AV store's recommedation. If I understand this correctly the 1056 would push the center and surround channels at 75w while the 1080 would be pushing the 2 front speakers at 200w for HT and 2 channel use as well. This sounds like a way to change my front speaker selection to 703s instead of 704s by saving nearly $700 by not buying the 1068/1075 separates.

actually you will get around 90w per channel out of the 1056 since you are only driving 3 channels instead of 5. I have the this same setup and also i would reccommend looking at Vandersteen speakers before you commit. Read the review on Model 2ce signatures at vandersteen,s website and you will get an idea what they are all about as a company. I have the model 2Ce sig's myself but if you have the money i woudl go withthe 3A SIg's. I LOVE teh model 2's but the 3's were out of my price range.- Bottom
