Upgrade to Rotel RSX1056

[JerryB]

I am in the process of upgrading my receiver I use in my bedroom 2ch system. Right now I have an Onkyo TX-SR702 AV receiver, Sony DVP-NC555ES CD/DVD player, Def Tech ProSub100 sub and a pair of B&W 602S3 speakers.

The question is that if I replace the Onkyo receiver with a Rotel RSX 1056 receiver will the 1056 be enough power to run the B&W 602’s or should I go to the RSX 1067?

I am very pleased with Rotel equipment because my HT system in my family room is equipped with the following gear and it sounds great.

Rotel RSP1068 pre/pro
Rotel RCC 1072 CD changer
Rotel RMB 1095 amp
Denon 5910 DVD player
B&W 604S3 fronts
B&W 602S3 surrounds
B&W LCR600 center
Velodyne SPL1200R sub

Thanks

The 1056 probably has more power than the Onkyo, it should run 602's fine

I agree. If you later find that you need more power you could add the RMB-1075 and use the 1056 as your pre-amp...it makes a great pre BTW. I did this as part of a future migration to separates.
