    RSX 1055: 7.1 AND Zone Two 2-channel?

    Can someone confirm/deny the following possibility with the RSX 1055:

    Driving 7.1 HT AS WELL AS 2-channel stereo in zone 2?

    I am currently auditioning both a NAD T762 and the 1055 in my home, and I'd like to know if the above is at all possible.

    Thanks.

    As far as I know you would need a seperate 2-channel amp for 7.1 with the 1055 as it only has 5 powered channels to start and then another 2-channel amp or processor in the second zone. You should be able to run them both however as long as you have the appropriate extra gear. I'm sure someone who actually owns the 1055 can confirm or deny.

      Yes you could...

      a) use a 2ch amp to drive the extra 2 speakers in a 7.1 set up using the pre-out on the RSX (even adding a 2nd sub!!) AND

      b) use another 2ch amp do drive a stereo set-up in another room!...

      That is my plan for my future house!!

        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:...

        Is there a sonic difference between a Rotel RSX-1055 and Rotel RSX-1550?
        by hockey_101
        Thinking about picking up a Rotel RSX-1550. I currently have a RSX-1055. Just wondering if there will be a sonic difference between the two? I know the 1550 is newer, which has hdmi but I am mainly concerned about 5 channel stereo mode. Will there be a sonic difference between the two?
        It looks...

        RSX-1055 5.1 bass management
        by paazel
        Hello, I'm thinking of upgrading from my RSX-972 to a RSX-1055.

        Currently my Panasonic DMP-80K is connected via coax & also thru the 5.1 analog inputs. My RSX-972 lacks bass management for the 5.1 inputs; and as I'm too lazy to manually adjust the bass on my sub, I end up using the...
