My goodbye to Rotel

Hey, levesque, I was a little curious--you're not the professional hockey player, are you?

Don't you incur a sizable loss every time you resell one of these high-end components?

Nope buy low sell high still applies here. I shop around and buy good deals when I see them either at my dealer or buying used then sell on eBay etc where the prices are higher...I've actually made money in past on some items.

Upgraditis is a severe condition....

Fellow members,

We are all afflicted...

I stand here ready to confess that I have upgraditus...

See HERE for my latest research on this terrible condition.

Besides - what have you all got lately - you must let us know...

I know exactly how you feel.

I am not all to pleased with the stereo sound I am getting from my current system, so while I will keep the current Rotel system for home theater stuff, I am seriously looking at Sim Audio's offerings coupled with a pair of B&W Signature 800 or Nautilus 802s. I will have until Christmas to decide if the Tiger Eye finish and the sonic difference alone are worth $12K.

You most certainly have. Though I have to say I'm on track to do the same. Since Nov 02 I have

1. Replaced 32" TV with Panasonic 47" RPTV
2. Repaced Panasonic RP62 with RP82
3. Replaced Rotel RMB-1066 amp with Rotel RMB-1095
4. Replaced Paradigm Mini Monitor/CC350 with Studio 40/20/470 (v3)
5. Sold PS-1000 with speakers and replaced it with PW-2100
6. Sold Monster HTS1000 and replaced with AR surge protector(needed $)
7. Sold AR six months later and got a Monster HTS1000mkII
8. Sold Marantz AV560U pre/pro and replaced with Yamaha RX-V1400 to be used as pre/pro.
9. Bought more wire to bi-wire.

I'm $3900CDN in the hole for the speakers/amp/receiver. Till Sept 04 I'm done with upgrading. Time to pay everything off before the no interest period runs out.

You don't really need help, just another hobby. :roll: As I see it your hobby isn't Home Theater, your hobby is UPGRADING. :T
You need another hobby.
