Rotel RSX-1057 Receiver

[Cdnhifi]

Has anyone else heard anything about this unit?

I was recently in our local Rotel dealer here in Vancouver and asked about the RSX-1056 which I am interested in. After speaking with the sales guy for a few mintues and finding out they did not have the 1056 for demo, he mentioned that he had some new information regarding the replacement for the 1056. Not having heard of anything about a new model I was intrigued!

He basically had a fax from Rotel with a bunch of new models soon to be released and one of them was the RSX-1057. There was not a whole lot of information written in the write up other then it will be pretty much be identical to the 1056 (same power 75x5, and it looked the same in the pic) except that it will have 2x HDMI-in and 1x HDMI-out. He didn't know an exact date but said that if I was in no rush to wait for the 1057 as it will be out this spring.

So, anyone else heard anything about this model or when it may be released?

Nope that was it.... like I said there was not much on the sheet but the guy said the unit was exact to the 1056 except for the HDMI.... He also figured the price would come in at the same as the 1056... which is pretty nice!

That's all it is, 1056 plus 2x1 HDMI. It's just an HDMI switch, no converting to HDMI. It should be out when the 1056's run out (2-3 months maybe).

The RSX-1057 is now on the Rotel website :

Besides HDMI switching, it comes with a different remote and the display seems to be slightly different as well.

boxer82003,

As I responded in another post regarding Rotel dealers in Vancouver, HiFi Centre is the place in downtown Vancouver for Rotel stuff.

They listed the Rotel 1056 at $2000 but just work them for a better deal as you can get quite a bit knocked off (especially now if they still have 1056's left and HDMI is not that important to you)

I purchased my 1057 last week in New York City - the dealer quoted me the same retail price as the 1056 - plus I got a discount.

If you don't need to audition them there is a place in Richmond in landsdown mall called Westminster Stereo that has 1 or 2 RSX-1056 in stock and they gave me 20+% discount...

thanks for sharing. I've been looking to upgrade from my RSX-1055 for a while now. Maybe that's the way to go.

It comes with 3 x 12V triggers I read...
