Hi guys, yes, it's pure frustration
RDV1060 broken again for the 3rd time in over 4y. Has been sitting with Rotel Hong Kong for 6.5 weeks now; apparently they are still waiting for the parts from London.
RMB1075 problems with right surround speaker. Sitting with Rotel Hong Kong for 3 weeks now. Initially I was told nothing was wrong with it, then I was asked to bring in my RSP1098, after insisting there's a problem. And they are telling me they are waiting for some parts, to test the amp (yes, you heard right "waiting for parts to test" not to repair)
I asked them to give my an older receiver, so that I can at least watch something :twisted: Nope, nada. Ended up buying a new $200 Sony receiver. And guess what?! I'm happy with it! At least it doesn't break :W and if it does I just throw it out the window and get another one. That's still $400 vs $7,500.
So how much more time should I give them before I lose my mind and request all the unrepaired gear back (worth $7.5k) :B
So, after 8y of Rotel ownership I'm ready to throw in the towel. Yes, there was the RSX1055 in the past, with some health problems on it's own. I really don't think Rotel's built quality is any better from the other mainstream gear.
Please prove me wrong. I came to the understanding, that if you do own Rotel you ought to have every model twice, just in case your first choice ain't working...
so nuff philosophy :rofl:
