Apply RSX 1065 to RB 993

[halobelo]

I would like to connect my RSX 1065 to a Rotel RB 993 Amplifier.
Have a B&W XT HT (XT4/XTC/PV!1/Rears).
Is this possible (HOW?) and would be an improvment in stereosound?

It is possible and quite easy. Just connect the preamp outputs (the left, center, and right) from the receiver to the amp and hook the speakers up to the amp and your done.

And yes it would be a big improvement in performance.

Thank you for reply, i connect my subwoofer&rears to my 1065 and the fronts/center to the rb993...ok...do i have to setup the rsx in a special way to manage this setting?

No. You need to calibrate the system just like before with an SPL meter but other than that you should be set.

halobeto,

I don't believe you will need to do anything in the Rotel reciever in order to 'activate' or 'control' the pre outs. However, I would access the receiver menu and run some test tones to make sure you hooked up the front three channels correctly. Then, you can run a calibration disk to balance all the speakers. It's always a good idea to rebalance when you add a major piece to the system.

As was noted, you should definitely experience an improvement to your audio. Bigger soundstage, better dynamics. I remember when I went to an external amp, these were the biggest areas of improvement. But, all areas improved.


Hope this helps.
