guys i need opinions on ppl on what they would do or what they think would sound better, right now i have rotel rx-1052 stereo reciever and rotel rcd-1072, b&w 705's, would you change the rotel gear for classe ca-2200, cp-500, and cdp-102 or would you just keep the rotel gear and change the 705's over to wilson audios duette's?, according to my dealer he told me it would be by far much better to change the 705's to the wilson's, he said the rotel to classe change would be very "subtle"...

Speakers are always a much greater change for better or worse than electronics. -
Get the Wilsons! And THEN upgrade to Classe piece at a time.

Hi,
The Duets are amazing quality and a equally amazing price (high) like all other Wilson Audio products.. For the price (something like US $11000) you could get a lot of other speakers as well (like B&W 802D) for less than that... But if you need the great soumd in the small space and can afford it why not...
However - be warned. IMO is is 100% certain that after you get the Duets you will feel the need to upgrade your amplificaton to have more cleaner power than the Rotel reciever can supply... Whenther this is the next day or after a few months it will happen... So be prepared to (at a minumum) get something like the Rotel RB-1092 amp to drive them... Or save up for the Classe etc later...
Equally if you have the space for less than the Duette (RRP) you could get both the B&W 802D and the Rotel RB-1092 and not have to upgrade....
Listen and consider

As some of you know, I've been searching for my next pair of speakers. My budget for the speaker goes to $50,000. Which is basically Wilson Alexia category. Every speaker I've heard is SOTA... but there are so many different flavors.
Most recently, I've heard the 800 Diamonds (paired... -
I wanted to get impressions from anyone that was running Classe gear with Wilson speakers. I am considering going with a Wilson Watch Center, Watch Surrounds, and Sophia mains, so wanted to see if anyone has this setup and their impressions on it from both a HT as well as Audio setup.

Now that I finally have gotten my system sounding really good in my own opinion, the disease is flaring up again and seems to be spreading. Now I am thinking up upgrading to 7.1 once again and would like the opinions of the Classe gods. I know the right way to go would be to add another 2 channel Classe... -
Hi,
I just a got couple of 705 and a Rotel RSX 1056. Initially paired 705s on a loaner Marantz from dealer (think this was 770 or some thing, with 60W per channel) for about 2 weeks until my Rotel arrived. I was happy with the loaner setup, but then I received Rotel and hooked it up. Immediately... -
I am comparing these 3 bookshelf speakers for my home theatre (front speakers). There is a significant price difference between them, and I wondering if anyone has tested these back to back in the same room, or otherwise has compared them. Unfortunately, floor standing speakers are not an option for...
