    Receiver/Preamp/Amp for Mirage?

    Hello.
    I have a question for you all....
    My speakers:
    Mirage OM5 (Front)
    Mirage OMC2 (Center)
    Mirage FRX9 (Surr)

    What kind of Receiver/Preamp/Amp should i buy ?

    I'm looking for a (Receiver/Preamp/Amp) which sounds great both in stereo and home cinema.

    Since I bought the Mirage OM5, I want some equipment that really gives me the "magic" from these speakers....

    Are the RSX-1067 or the (RSP-1068 + amp) the best thing for me ?
    (I think the RSP-1098 are too expensive) Or should I look at other rotel products ?

    Which other brands than rotel supplies the best sound with Mirage OM5 ?

    Migen,

    I actually own the Mirage OM-7's, and I am currently running the RSP-1098, RB-1080, and RMB-1095. It really depends on your budget and needs, if you wish to go with separates or the receiver route, regardless I would definitely recommend the RB-1080 to drive the OM-5's, it made a significant difference acoustically for me.

    Options:

    1) The 1056 (receiver) to drive the rears and the RB-1080 for the fronts.

    2) The 1068 (pre/pro), RMB-1075 (driving the rears), and the RB-1080.

    The Rotel combo drives the Mirages very well, but I can't emphasize enough that you will need the 1080 to drive those OM-5's.

    I am a very happy camper. I would however, listen to your own ears and test what sounds good to you, some retailers will let you sample the equipment in your home before purchase.

    Hope this helps,

    Azeke

      I too have my OM-7's driven by the RB1080 (+ RSP1098 and RMB1095) and I agree totally with Azeke. Before I bought the Rotel gear I had a Denon AVC-A11SR and the sound difference is amazing. Almost beyond words. If I were you I go for the separates.

      Good luck in choosing.

            by PGAWest
            Hello everyone - I'm new to the forum; not sure if this is the right place to post. I'm basically a newbie and pretty clueless in the home theater field, so I apologize in advance if what I'm posting is somewhat remedial.

            I'm looking for advice on a new receiver or preamp/processor....

            Trade In my 1068 For Receiver?
            by chanlon
            Hi everyone.

            I'm thinking about trading in my Rotel 1068 processor for a current receiver for preamp/processing duties. I will be connecting my 1075 amp to whatever receiver I will be using. I've been looking at Yamaha and Pioneer Elite.

            Amplifier/receiver advice needed
            by sokoban
            So, I wound up with a pair of Bozak 301 Tempo speakers, and was wondering if you all had any good suggestions for an amp or receiver for this as a 2 channel setup. They sound okay on my old sony 5.1 receiver, but I would like a receiver or preamp/amp with a more "vintage-like" look, and maybe...

            Rc1070 And Rb1080
            by gymguymass
            I am in the process of ordering the RC1070 stereo preamp and RB1080 power amp, and am curious if anyone has any recommendations for interconnects and speaker cables. I currently own a pair of Mirage OM10 speakers. My music tastes run from rock (Metallica, Guns n Roses, Tool, etc) to female vocalists...

            RX1052 as preamp with RB1080
            by b&w fan
            I just bought a RB-1080 power amplifier (not in yet) which I am going to coupled to a RX1052 receiver that will work as preamplifier. I delayed the purchase of a dedicated preamp just to reduce the pressure on my cash flow. My speakers are a pair of B&W 703.
