    Thoughts on RMB-1575 vs. 65

    Ok so I've been lurking an mulling around here for way too long.
    (Look at my join date?!)
    The opportunity has come up where i may be able to purchase a 1575 amp.
    I test drove it last Xmas, and although I wasn't completely happy with the accompanying processor, i have to give the amp a HUGE thumbs up.

    My upcoming condo won't have the largest space. In fact, my listening room/HT is about 20x16'.

    I'm quite intrigued by the 1575 and excited.
    But, does anyone else feel it might be overkill?
    would I be better served by getting the 1565?

    I, truthfully, was under the impression that more watts would serve me better for lower volume listening. I want the impact, Tings, Zings, Booms, and wows.
    But I don't want to flex my neighbour's drywalls.

    I also want this to be the "end all/be" all amp. The last one I'll ever have to buy.
    Am I right in thinking that this one can serve most of my purposes?

    a little about my system:

    Speakers: Paradigm Studio 40/20/470 v3
    Sub: SVS sb+12
    BD: Panny Bd-35
    Power: PureAV Pf-30
    IC's: AR Master's
    HD65 Optoma on 102" BOC
    (potentially an ERC-1 and UMC-1 from Emotiva)

    I have the means to pick it up. And I HATE buyers remorse.
    So I guess the question I'm asking is: Should I just get it?

    By the way, anyone have any links to 1575 reviews?
    I found a couple reviews from England, that love theirs....

    Rotel 1570/1575 12v trigger problem
    by RichardB
    Hi,

    I have recently picked up a Rotel 1570/1575, and I am having a few problems with the 12v trigger between the 1570/1575. I am unable to get the 1575 to power on while using the trigger when turning the 1570 on. I have the trigger cable connected to trigger out 1 on the 1570, and the...

    SVS SB12-plus + 800 series?
    by weijst
    Just when I thought the sky of options was clearing a bit I came along the SVS SB12-plus :x .

    Does anyone have an idea how this sub competes against for instance a Velodyne SPL1000-R/1200-R?

    I allready demo-ed the ASW700 at home and I was actually not that impressed,...

    Question about Rotel 1575 & more
    by manjo
    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...

    Anyone tried the RMB-1575 ??
    by mjb
    I'm thinking about replacing my RB-1092/1091 combo (driving 802d's) with a RMB-1575 - replacing three boxes with one, and with only 3db less output. Added to which, it will nicely match the yet to arrive RSP-1570 (WAF). This a good or bad idea? I'm also wondering what ICE modules they're using in the...

    802D with Rotel 1575
    by ray5
    I have been eyeing the 802D's lately for my HT, I love the looks and performance of the 802D but am concerned that when I read the forums people don't feel Rotel does them justice and recommend Macintosh or Classe. I don't consider myself an audiophile and strongly feel that I'll never spend >4000$...
