    I finally GOT IT: RSP-1098 :):):):)

    Hi guys,

    I finally got the call from my dealer this Friday telling me "Come and Get it". I had waited for this machine since July and it finally arrived.

    First impressions:

    Annoying stuff:

    1) Sound seems to be too bright, but it has gotten better since yesterday. The dreaded brake in period
    2) I don't like the fact that when you turn off the display, it will turn on automatically when volume is changed
    3) All the clicking sounds. Well I am sure I will get use to this

    Good Stuff

    1) Huge sound stage, specially with 5.1 material
    2) Fantastic setup opportunities for any kind of material
    3) Excellent looks
    4) Incredibly detailed sound. I am hearing things in movies and CDs I own that I have not heard before, and I had the 1066 before!

    By the way, it took me about 45 min to figure out how to use the multi-input for DVD-A yesterday . I am still playing around with all the setup menus.

    Excellent, Excellent, Excellent Machine. I am Defiantly happy with my upgrade. Money well spend.

    Some pictures of the system for you guys to see:






    Sorry for the bad quality. One of these days I will get a better digital camera.

    Thanks,
    Maziar

      Yes I did. My Dealer has an upgrading program. I only lost 4% of the original price I paid for the 1066 when I upgraded.

      Actually I have 2 new toys. The Sammy DLP came just over a week before the 1098

      Thanks,
      Maziar

        That's an amazing trade in value you got. How long did you have your 1066? What kind of deal does your dealer give you (how many points off)?

              Thanks guys.

              Aeromos,

              I placed my order for it in March. At that time I had the RSP-1066 for only 2 months. My dealer has an upgrading program that you loose 2%/month on processors and since I placed an order in March, I only lost 4% of the original value. Mind you, my dealer charges MSRP and no discounts. You can get more information on my dealer at: http://www.dewaraudio.com .

              dsgcobra,

              I saw your pictures before. Your system rocks as well and you are right about the Sammy DLP

              Thanks,
              Maziar

                Finally, decided on RSP-1066 & RMB-1075. . .
                by Hap C
                Thanks to all who contribute to this forum, as you have helped to steer me in what I think is the right direction. I've been lurking for quite a while, and have learned a lot. I've also been looking at components off and on for 6 months to upgrade from a Denon AVR-3300, and finally ordered the Rotel...

                life with rsp 1068 vs 1066 vs 1098
                by rosros
                In feb I had a chance of comparing side by side the rsp 1098 with the rsp 1066. at the time, I was thinking about upgrading from the 1066 to the 1098. the rsp 1098 was a loaner from my rotel dealer. I had the 1098 for one week. Although the 1066 is a wonderful unit, for my usage, ultimately, it was...

                Hello,

                No true analog bypass on RSP-1066???
                by Martinf
                Prior to committing to a multi-channel pre-amp (RSP-1066), I’ve been studying the specifications and user manuals for both the Rotel RSP-1066 and very new RSP-1098.

                1. Some observations from RSP-1098 manual:-

                (a) On page 13 in the RSP-1098 manual it has an explicit...

                New RSP-1066 Owner Questions/Observations
                by dpippel
                I received my brand spanking new 1066 in silver yesterday and have spent a few hours setting up and calibrating the unit. My question is how do I find out the software version that's installed in this puppy? I searched here but couldn't locate the answer. This is a new unit that came to my dealer in...
