Hey everyone. Well, the bonus came in, and I purchased the 1068 to go with my 1075, and the B&W N804s. Boy, it is heaven. When first listening to music, TV, movies, and everything else with the 1068, the thing I noticed the most was the absolute CLARITY of everything. Voices are so real you cannot even explain it. And it sounds as if the Soundstage has widened a bit too, and definately gained more Height in the room, keeping all other things equal.
This thing is truly awesome, and my dealer said that after comparing the 1066 to the 1068, its foolish to save a couple bucks (in the long run) to grab the 1066. He listened to them both, and said that he enjoyed the sound of the 1068 much better (much closer, if not as close, to the 1098 than the 1066 he said).
But, I ran into a snag. TV was great. CDs were great, even out of my Panasonic XP30 DVD player. But, when I put in Saving Private Ryan, for some reason, I got a loud, almost 'snowy' sound coming from each of the speakers in the main menu. Then, it seemed to disappear a bit into the movie, but I also recall hearing it a few other times as well. It really shocked me.
I was thinking that it could be my Optical connection from the DVD player to the receiver, but it was connected properly. What does that mean, if I am getting that type of unclear sound? It never happened before. Is it because this unit is so much more revealing, that I have a problem somewhere upstream? Or downstream even? I guess I am not sure how to fix it, but if anyone had some recommendations, I am ALL EARS!
