Speakers for my new combo!?

[PhilB34]

Hello,

well i have changed the pioneer I was using as a processor and decided to go all ROTEL! :T

QUESTION:

What processor to get 1066/68/69 to go with my 1075? AND what speakers go well with rotel? B&w,monitor audio,kef etc....(i am in uk)

Can't afford to muck this up swmbo is moaning!!

Thanks guys,

Phil

I have used Paradigm, Monitor Audio (current speakers), and B&W with Rotel and all sounded great.

As for the processor, it depends on you needs. With the 1069 on its way it may be worth it to wait (in my case I am not concerned with HDMI at this point and wont be for a couple of years so I would get the 1068 ). If you are on a tight budget a 1066 could hold you over until you can afford a 1069.

Hmmm have been recommended Quad l-ites or 11l/12l series?

What you reckon?

speaker

Rotel 1068 + scaler Rotel (1069 is not im Rotel rpogramm for the next 5years../same 1099) + rmb1075

with B&W 803S/804s - HTM2S/ HTM4s center - 805 rear
sub 750/825

I think Monitor Audio is a very good product (better as Kef)
personaly think.

The 1068 has a good rep, and as for hte speakers I would give the PMC's a try.

I use them on my setup and work really well. Might be worth knowing what the budget is?

I'd get B&W 603 S3 speakers (1K US).

i used b&W 602s3's on my rotel equipment and loved the sound...audio is very personal though so you should still actually listen to them before you get your mind set on a certain speaker.

KEF iQ9
KEF iQ3
KEF iQ6c

[Fishy]

OK try the Kef Q1's. They are a fair amount cheaper and well worth an audition.

Yup :yesnod:

Here's the general list I usually reccomend a listen to though:

B&W, Energy, Kef, Paradigm, PSB, Polk, Totem and Vienna Acoustics.
