    Sub Question - M&K + 1068

    Hello. I am getting ready to hook up my M&K VX-860 sub to my 1068. The sub has a bypass that allows you to use the processor's filter.

    Is this the way to go? Are there any pros/cons on using the processor's filter versus the crossover on the sub itself?

    Also, the sub has L&R inputs and states that if processor only has one output, then to use the Left input on the sub. Would it be better to get a "Y" connector and connect to both L&R? Is there any benefit to having both L&R inputs connected?

    Thanks for all of your help! :T

    What speakers do you have and do you want to run them full range?

    No you do not need a 'Y' to the sub.

      Gianni, thanks for the reply. I have Whatmough M30s. I will probably set them up as small and send the LF to the sub.

        In that case, don't use the sub's crossover. Either turn it off( bypass) or set it well above the filter setting for the 1068.

          Rotel Rsp 1066 / 1068 Vs Marantz 8200
          by bleeding ears
          Hi all,

          Can anyone tell me their experience with a Marantz Sr8200 receiver acting as a processor only, compared to the Rotel 1066 or 1068 processors.

          I use a Sony TAN9000ES 5 channel amplifier and have no use for the amplifiers in the Marantz receiver. I am not unhappy...

          Hooked up the 1068/1075 yesterday.

          Initially had the units unboxed and setup at the dealer. At the dealer they
          were dead quiet. At my place, there is a slight hum (6" from the speakers).
          I'll track down the ground loop in due time.

          Initial impressions:...

          Rotel 1068 Initial impressions vs. Lexicon DC-1
          by spkerguy
          Hello everyone,

          I just hooked the 1068 up last Friday and probably have spent a good 10 hours with it so far. The unit I was coming from was a lexicon DC-1 (latest V4. 1999) that had the center channel and sub inputs blown so getting the center and sub back was refreshing. ...

          RSP 1068 Trouble
          by mhoyt
          Hi,

          I am new to HTGuide so I apologize if this is a re-run of an older thread.

          I have a Rotel RSP-1068 that I purchased a few years ago. Its suddenly having a lot of problems. The Front L/R channels are dead and occasionally it appears to just lose sync with the audio source...

          Need input - 1098 or 1068 processor
          by grit
          WARNING - this looks like my previous post about the amps, but I'm asking about the processors in this post.

          I'm using 703s, HTM7, and 705s for a 5 channel HT system w/music secondary. I'm going to use either a 1095 or 1075 amp. The question I have is this: Will the 1098 make a noticeable...
