Just got my first Rotel Piece..RSX-1067

[Tiger1879]

I am a novice compared to most on here...but it sounds great. I have it paired with B&W"S CM'4's and matching center. Currently using a 12" infinity sub.
Setup is not plug and play especially when using large fronts, small rears and a sub. I think I've finally got it optimized.

Any tips or suggestions to get the best sound would be welcome.

Currently using a Sony CD/DVD player cost around $300. Any merit to looking at upgrading?

Thanks
Jim

Definitely look at upgrading the Sony DVD player if you have the money.

I would suggest making the main speakers small when using it for HT use and large when using it for stereo listening. In the large setting no low frequencies go to the sub from those channels (LFE will still play)...but I'm not sure if you can differentiate on the different inputs with the 1067.

Other than calibrating the system... it sounds like you've got a setup you really like, so now all that's left is to sit back and enjoy!!!

Congratulations!! Is it brand new? How much did you get it if I may ask? The reason I am asking all these, is because price-wise, I can't seem to to choose a RSX-1067 over a RMB-1075/RSP-1068 combo.

It's really not a hard choice when you consider what speakers your running and how big your room is. Seperates are always the better choice but when it comes to Rotel , it's so damn close it's hard to hear a difference.

There is nothing wrong with the rsx1067 unless you need more power. If your speakers are 4ohm's and you have a large size room , then seperates are the way to go.

Good luck with your decesion

Tiger 1897,
Very good choice of choosing 1067

1068/1075 set-up I think only better than 1067 when you got very good ( the same
meaning as expensive ) interconnects
otherwise it sound about the same

May I suggest the source Pioneer DV969Ai ( Singapore model ) to repl your Sony DVD
