Hi all,
Just joined this forum. Have a few questions.
1st question:
I am considering a Rotel 1575, and PSB Image T65 speakers and SV12 plus sub-woofer. The question is does the 1575 have provision for a subwoofer ? The spec says 5x250W receiver, but I thought if it were to drive a subwoofer it would say 5.1 ?
2nd question:
I know the answer to this question is going to be "its a matter of taste", but I would like to hear your opinion anyway. I am also considering the Yamaha RXV-V3900 instead of the 1575, only because it is significantly cheaper. But I really don't care about the video aspects of it. I have a rega turn table + Graham II phono preamp, and this is the primary source of my music signals. Does the Yamaha RXV-V3900 come close to the sound quality of Rotel ? I did demo the rotel and it blew me away, compared to the Bose (lifestyle 20) setup I have right now. Will the Yamaha have similar sound characteristics ? It sure does have a ton of electronics like room sound balancing technology etc... does that really work? I cant find a place to demo this receiver so I thought to ask you guys.
I am leaning towards the Rotel at the moment, but it is failing the wife test.
Thanks
