Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I bought a RSX-1056 and a set of B&W 600s for a 5.1 setup in 2004. Given all the new blue ray/HDMIs I am considering the following potential upgrades
1. Do nothing/just use optic audio and wait for 2-3 years for 3-D/HDMI 1.4 to mature
2. Upgrade to RSX-1550
3. Upgrade to RSX-1560 and bi-amp front
4. Upgrade to RSX-1560 with two additional 600 speakers for 7.1 setup - it is not easy to wire a 7.1 setup in my family room but not impossible
Which of the above makes most sense now? A few things
1. I am not sure if I want to go with analoge out from DVD player option.
2. Assume 600 speakers are still good enough/no need to upgrade here?
3. Does anyone know if and when Rotel will have HDMI 1.4 support?
4. How much disccount dealer can give on 1550 and 1560? (think the listing price is 1,999 and ~2,500)
5. Does Rotel/Rotel dealers do trade-ins/upgrade? How much does a 2004 RSC-1056 roughly worth now?
Many thanks for your help.
