RSX-1067 & RB-1080 or RSP-1068 & RB-1080

[BlueSander]

Hi all, another question here. I'm thinking about getting the RB-1080 because the RSX-1067 isn't doing that great to statisy my stereo need. The question is whether to sell the 1067 and purchase the RSP-1068 to couple with RB-1080 or just keep the 1067 and use it as the preamp for RB-1080?

Advantage of keeping is the extra speaker connections so that I can add on a center channel whenever i like. However, sacrifying sound quality for the center isn't something I'm willing to do. I have seen others use their receivers as a preamp but is there any differences?


Thank you.

PS: which amplifier out there from Rotel do you guys think is comparable with the RSX-1067? Not the 1075 right?

The RSP-1068 might sound a little better than the RSX-1067 but not worth the move in my opinion. It's enough of a lateral move, and to not gain HDMI capabilities, doesn't seem worth it to me. If you went to an RSP-1069 that would be another story since it sounds better than the RSP-1068 and adds HDMI. It just costs more to do that.
