I stopped in at my local dealer over the weekend fully intending to buy a Rotel 1098/1095 combination.
I was offered a deal on the Lexicon RV-8 for slightly more than I would need to pay for the Rotels (a substantial deal on the Lexicon). The dealer is recommending the Lexicon as superior for both 2 channel and home theater. I am conflicted - I never imagined buying a receiver at this price point, and think the Rotel separates are wonderful (it's what I went there to buy).
What would you do? I am running B&W 805S, HTM3S across the front, if it matters.
Thanks for any guidance - I am torn.
