    Still on the horns of dilemma

    My dealer offered me a RC 1090 for $850. Should I buy it at that or wait for the new RC 1082 that is suppose to come out in May. I fear if I don't pick up the 1090 offer, someone else will. But I don't know how much an improvement the 1082 will offer. And, the price difference is around $500. Just thought I would commiserate with you guys and get some good advice. JNorth1178

    Considering few have heard the RC-1082, most rave about how the RC-1090 sounds, and you could probably get most of the $850 back if you decided to sell; I think the decision is easy..

      Thanks Kevin for the thought. I have wondered if the l090 is an improvement sonically over the l070. But as you say if it isn[t I could probably get my money back. JNorth1178

        I went ahead and bought the 1090 following Kevin's thinking. Installed it this evening, and it is great. Much clearer and sharper than the 1070. Now I have a near-new preamp to sell. Guess i will put it on Ebay or Ausiogon. Thanks for the help. JNorth1178

          Good deal. I think you can post at our classifieds after 25 or 50 posts.

            Stereo PreAmp Review: RC-1082 V RC-1070
            by miket
            Hi,
            I just wanted to give a few comments on the RC-1082 that I obtained recently. I moved my RC-1070 to my bedroom system and replaced it with an RC-1082 in the main system.

            1. Overall the difference is very noticeable, more so than I thought. I had figured that the weakest link...

            Attached are pictures of the spec sheet for the new RC-1082 stereo pre-amp. Unfortunately they were not able to add a HT bypass to the unit.

            If you are upset they didn't add HT bypass, please call Rotel directly and tell them. Please don't clutter the forum posting how you're not going...

            Is there a major Sonic difference between ASW 855 and ASW 850 Subs????
            by chinets
            Hi Ya'll,
            As a current owner of a ASW 850 Sub and adding another one for serious HT and Music bass. Would an ASW 855 Have a different Sonic sound or obvious difference in sound than my current ASW 850, because my dealer said he had a perfect condition ASW 850 at half the price of the ASW 855...

            Hi Everyone,

            I've been eyeing off the RC-1082 Preamplifier and just wondering if a new RCD-1082 CD Player and RB-1082 Stereo Amplifier is due out soon?
