Any New news on a new HT preamp???

[Dmantis]

Hello all,
I'm wondering if Rotel has a new preamp ready to be released yet? Or any news on what would be coming out and when? HDMI switching and the new audio formats for Blue Ray and HD DVD are what brings me to this question. I'm ready to make the dive.

Talk to me fellas

Look at the CES threads in the forum. Short answer is no.

Interesting...thanks for the update. Wonder when it will reach the US?

I would have to question the authenticity coming from a store. Have you seen a physical version of it, because Rotel made no mention of it (aside from a leaked possible new model list).

As far as I know the RSP-1099 is postponed until end of the year, they wait to see where all that HD stuff is going.

A guess they are all going to make us wait.... Classe doesn't have anything with HDMI either do they?

Buying a pre-amp with HDMI 1.2 today isn't really a good idea I think, and personally I prefer Rotel to wait and release something that last more that just a couple of months before being obsolete, like some other very commercial that release new models every 8 months....
