Hi everyone.
I'm thinking about trading in my Rotel 1068 processor for a current receiver for preamp/processing duties. I will be connecting my 1075 amp to whatever receiver I will be using. I've been looking at Yamaha and Pioneer Elite.
My use is 70% movies (Blu-ray/HD DVD and DVD) and 30% music from an Arcam CD player. I use PSB Silver i speakers
Has anybody out there seriously auditioned a receiver from preamp/processing duties for the latest codec support? I've been more than impressed with the preamp and noise levels with the current generation of $1000 receivers.
I can honestly say I'm not sure I can justify double the cost for a 1069 processor. I have been using Rotel equipment for 10 years and enjoy the service and product. However, I'm starting to think the new processing power and value of the japanese receivers, is very competitive with Rotel/NADs, etc for processing duties.
Any opinions? I'd love to hear your input. I don't want to make a decision I will regret.
Thanks!
