Not really a performance feature however depending on the age of the RSP-1066 it might be equiped with the newer remote. ie. the one that comes with the current RSP-1068. also the later versions of the RSP-1066 allowed HD component pass through.Originally posted by DaymondLast edited by JDH; 09 May 2006, 02:54 Tuesday.Bits of HT & 2ch Stuff: Rotel, Pro-ject, Oppo, Bel Canto, Elektra Audio, Benchmark, Panasonic, DSPeaker, Epson, Slim Devices, Belkin, Philips Pronto, Harmony, URC, Sennheisser, AKG, HTPC under development, KEF, Whatmough, Definitive Technology & Pardigm Signiture speakersComment

I am thinking about upgrading from my Rotel RSP 976 to the 1066 solely because I would like to have 6.1 versus 5.1 sound. Is it worth it or am I just buying in to the upgrade fever?
I listened to the 1066 at the dealers with 6.1 and honestly I could not really tell any difference. I thought... -
Has there been comparisons on the 976 vs RSP 1066. Has anyone traded up to the 1066 from the 976, if so, what were the improvements over the older model. Have there been any issue with the 976 that I should be aware about, also, likes and dislikes.
One additional question: Is anyone using an... -
