    Rotel RX 1052

    Hello,

    I just purchased a Rotel RX-1052 and I am quite pleased with its sound. I am currently using PSB Image B25's as my speakers. However, I would like to move up to a higher rated monitor...any suggestions?

    What about a B&W 602 or 603? or even the 705s. I have the 705s and I love them.

      I had RX-1052 before I switched to Rotel separates, it was my first Rotel gear, the one that got me into this expensive hobby. If you're looking for an inexpensive solutions for monitors, Axiom M22 is the way to go. Otherwise I have heard great things about B&W 805s.

        My daughter used the 1052 with B&W 602 S3 speakers. The 1052 drives these speakers well with clean clear sound.

          Rotel RX-1052

          Now I have a problem. I just purchased a pair of PSB Stratus Mini's and they sound awesome. The problem is that the RX-1052 has to be turned up quite loud. Will this put too much strain on the amplifier section? Now I feel like selling the receiver to get more power.

            10 year old RX-1052
            by mr.dlo
            I have a ten year old Rotel RX-1052 and have a few questions. The old speakers I was using have bit the dust. Is the RX-1052 worth keeping? If so, should I have it tested?

            Also, I was thinking of getting Axiom M22 v4 bookshelf speakers, as the room isn't very large. Is that a good choice?...

            Easy Listening in bedroom with RX-1052 question.
            by Norgoth
            Hi all,

            I just did a major renovation on my home and have networked the whole house for video and audio. I purchased an Escient Vision system and want to extend the audio to my master bedroom. Since this is not the main listening area, I decided to go for a low key 2 channel system and...

            Rotel RA 1070 vs RX 1052
            by donk93953
            Hep me!...I own a Rotel RA 1070 and love it. But Hurricane Wilma decided she wanted it also. Rotel is showing the RX 1052 as their new version of this..(yes I know there are some differences)...but they are spec wise pretty close and both seem to push 100 watts of power a side ( I have B & W 803s's)...but...

            RX1052 as preamp with RB1080
            by b&w fan
            I just bought a RB-1080 power amplifier (not in yet) which I am going to coupled to a RX1052 receiver that will work as preamplifier. I delayed the purchase of a dedicated preamp just to reduce the pressure on my cash flow. My speakers are a pair of B&W 703.

            Do you think that using...
