15 series stereo receiver?

[nmuntz]

Has anyone seen anything about a forthcoming 15 series stereo receiver - something to replace the RX-1052? I was debating between the RX-1052, Integra DTM-5.9 or Denon DRA-697CI.

My local dealer doesn't have and can't get 1052's and they're hard to come by used (in Canada).

Nothing has been said about a 15 Series stereo receiver coming so it could be a while. The last time I asked my rep about it, he said Rotel is looking at doing one but there was no time table for one. That was about 4 or 5 months ago and nothing as changed as far as I know.

Well, this is as close to a stereo receiver as you're going to get. It's called the RCX-1500


Rotel RCX-1500 Multimedia System

Rotel’s RCX-1500 includes a CD player, 100-watt amplifier, tuner, D/A converter, iPod dock and provisions for wireless and Ethernet network connections for Sirius Radio, Pandora and Rhapsody.

That does look pretty cool. Is there any practical reason they wouldnt just make it a dvd player too? It would be cool if it could do blue ray audio.
