For those that complained, notice anything special about the new RC-1580?

If that is an HT bypass it must be remote operated only. Here's to hoping.

Most likely 12v triggered I would think.

Interesting...


I must say their new design looks a little like someone went crazy with polished metal and plastic. What is the deal with the treble knob alignment?

But, who really cares what it looks like. It is how it sounds that is everything.

Is there a estimated price for this bad boy?

Or it's tone control bypass. :W

The stereo stuff isn't going to be shown until CES, so I'm sure this is a pre-production unit. I doubt the treble knob will be mis-alligned in release versions.

Ah... but why have a graphic to show the tone bypass as being on when pushed in if you're going to give them an LED? Hmmmm...

Mebbe but there's nothing in the info/docs on either bypass. Besides, they do use the LED here: http://www.nicollpr.com/ROTEL/Files/...1082-Front.jpg

You are probably right about the knob, but it was just the first thing that caught my eye.
