Good review on a great piece of equipment. Since I'm a Club Parasound moderator, what I found interesting is that they mentioned the Parasound Halo C1, with a 5000 Pound price tag. HOLY CRAP! That's about $8,000 USD, whereas here stateside the C1 retail price is $6,000 USD. I feel for our UK brothers!

Chris,

Feel even more for your Aussie mates. The Parasound C1 retails for $AUD 15,999 or $US 12,000 - talk about extortion.

This makes the retail on the Rotel RSP 1098 of $AUD $4,999 a relative bargain

Wow geoff, I thought we in Europe where screwed by the electronics companies, but you guys are screwed big time. 12000 USD for the C1 is just silly.

:wtf:

No wonder... I'd go for the Rotel there, too!

Holly Shite! That's insane on the C1 price down there 8O

Yep, in the UK for the price of a C1 I could get TWO 1098's and have enough change for 100 DVD's.....

C1 therefore never entered my 1098 buying thought process.

The C2 is a lot cheaper and still sounds the same as the C1. Sure you don't get the TFT, but who cares

Can't help my self, but I do think Rotel aslo have a cheaper version without TFT that sounds really great, 1066/1068

Doublepost sorry...

The 1066 is by far *NOT* a 1098 without TFT. However looking at what the 1068 will offer it could be the cheaper 1098 without TFT (and also without a few extra's).
