Hi All
This is my first post at this forum. After (too many) years of suffering listening to a mediocre system I decided to buy a new audio/homecinema system. After almost a year of listening and "research", I finally went for the following combination:
Rotel RSP-1098
Rotel RMB-1075
B&W Nautilus 804 (front)
B&W Nautilus 805 (surround)
B&W Nautilus HTM-2 (center)
B&W ASW700
Soundstyle Status 310 AV Rack
I will continue to use my existing DVD player (Sony DVP-S7700)for the time being.
New speakers arrived last week, and the Rotel electronics should arrive next week. I have downloaded the manuals fom the Rotel website to try to be a bit prepared. This is my first real "homecinema" sound system, so I would appreciate any advice and tips about how to set-up the RSP-1098 since I don't have any experience how such a system should be configured.
Some initial questions:
Which speakers should be set to LARGE, only the front speakers? or the center and surround as well?
Which cross-over frequency should I set?
I am sure I will come back with some more newbie questions, once the Rotel tuff has arrived.In the meantime it feels a bit frustraiting having no amplifier(s) to connect the speakers to
Thank you in advance,
Kindly regards
TC
