I know this is the place we (some) bring our Rotel complaint's but in all fairness I thought I'd give em' a little credit where its due.
I sold my 1068 a while back and thought I'd go in a different direction.I brought a slew of 1-3k avr's and several prepro's ranging from about $1k to $3k.Most of the avr's left me recalling why I don't like avr's for 2ch music.The prepro's were all much closer,sound was good on all,features great on a few.At the end of much auditioning,lotsa work changing sets out,driving and shipping,of all the units I could have purchased I purchased another 1068(in silver,my other was black).For 2ch music/5ch dvda/sacd the Rotel was the only one that I could not pick out something I didn't like about the sound.The 1098 was nice,sounded very nice also but I don't need the screen and it sounded very similar all things considered.
At the start of this latest quest I never thought I'd end up with the same unit I had before,it was chosen stricktly on sound,not features or price(although both are acceptable)
So,since I've complained here a few times I thought I'd give credit where it was due"the Rotel sound"and those that make it what it is.
