    availibility new models

    Well,
    First of all, there is no mention of a remote (wich type)
    But the rsxd-02 is shipped with the new RR1070. A LCD touch screen (pronto like) remote. But not as big, but nice like a Loewe remote.


    I found this on a website of a Rotel dealer :


    Rotel is now accepting orders on the new RSX-1067 ($2,199 retail) surround sound receiver, the RSP-1068 ($1,699 retail) surround processor and the RDV-1050 ($699 retail) progressive scan, DVD-A DVD player. Shipments on the RSX-1067 will begin next week, with the RSP-1068 and RDV-1050 shipping by the end of this month. The new RSX-1056 ($1,299 retail) is expected to ship by mid-February. We will inform you when we can accept orders on that model.

    Rotel has included a bunch of features, first introduced in the RSP-1098, in all three of the new theater products:

    · Set up software and features are now the same as found in the RSP-1098.

    · Expanded flexibility in room set up and acoustics.

    · Composite and S-video sources can be up-converted to component.

    · New, more robust control protocols.

    · Two extra channels of amplification on the RSX-1067.

    · Audio delays for audio/video synching.

    · Three assignable 12v triggers and a dedicated zone 2 trigger.

    And copies of a brochure :





    Hope Europe is next...

    That RSP-1068 looks like a winner (based on the specs). Very cool that it has DTS 96/24 and DPLIIx. However, I wonder why they went with the naming convention of "LF" and "HF" for bass and treble? Any news on what DACs it has?

    I'm glad they brought back the "lighted" blue ring around the volume knob.

      Thanks for the info and the in-your-face pics LOL. :LOL:

      Doesn't make a whole lot of difference for me since I'm still @ 5.1. But PLIIx, dts 96/24, and video upconversion should satisfy a lot of people who have been demanding them. Not to mention the more-detailed bass management features. Wonder what the A/D and D/A (24/192?) hardware will be.

        I hope the 1068 will ship with the new RR1070 remote

        Has anyone noticed that the 1068 now has a different led screen than the rsx-1056 ? In the rsp-1066 and the rsx1055 they were the same....

          The RSX1056 looks like the screen of the 1055. With the speakerconfiguration on the right.

          The 1068 and 1067 are both with dot matrix screens now, which allows them more flexibility for characters. However the speaker setup is a very small now.

          Maybe the new 1056 and 1068 don't have a common base anymore.

          I'm still curious what the European prices will be.

            During my lunch I made a call to Rotel (B&W) in Holland.

            They have had no dates and no prices yet, but they hope that the rsp1068 will arrive in March, at the earliest. The rsx1067 will not arrive till summer 2004.

            But it is still guessing when they will actually arrive.

            !@$!@!! I hate waiting for stuff I want really bad !!

                Seems like the maximum bandwidth are used for him.
                Therefore I offer you to download them from my server:

                http://www.arthistory.cc/rotel/rsp1068.jpg
                http://www.arthistory.cc/rotel/rsx1067.jpg
                http://www.arthistory.cc/rotel/rsx1056.jpg

                Might be a slow server, but there's no bandwidthlimiter...

                Maybe I should present myself, as this is my first real post. I bought rd-1060/rmb-1075/1066. But when I heard news that they where releasing the 1068, I changed my mind and told my dealer to wait for the 1068 instead Maybe you might find me crazy, but I know it would bug me a lot if I didn't had bought the newest pre-amp around, everytime I would have listen to it. I live in Sweden, so it may take a while before I get it. Hopefully sometimes after the summer

                Best Regards Dave

                    Dave-

                    Thanx for the assist on the brochures and welcome to the club. Looks like you did the right thing in waiting since the new 1068 looks like it has almost everything the 1098 has except for the TFT. Now all you have to do is to figure out what to do to make the waiting go faster.

                      I'm still not able to download .PDF brochures.

                      Do this PDFs just contains the JPGs posted above or something more?

                      Thanx!

                      PS: BTW i have 50megs on a unlimited-bandwith ftp site to store that PDFs for all.

                        The pdf's contain Rotels press realease. The pictures are the same, and you will not find any new info in them. I will however Email them to you.

                        I normally never have any problems with my quota, but there must be a first time for everyting :-)
