Just in case anyone is interested SGHT reviewed the 1066 in there Jan 03 issue. They gave it a nice review and in the editor choice award section it received a gold award (the Krell HTS 7.1 won the platinum). One thing that I learned in the review was Rotel has made changes in the RSP-1066's video section, which has increased the comp. video bandwith to over 100MHZ. This is more than enough for HDTV. SGHT confirmed that on testing a more recent production unit it passed HDTV and DVD signals without degrading the picture.

Wow! What a news! Can someone confirm this thing about increase video bandwith. Andrew?
And from which build date is it starting? Had my unit in october.
I didn't even try to pass my HD signal trough the RSP-1066 and went directly to the TV, because of what I've heard before!
Hope it's true.
Thanks Joe for the info.
To spend more $$$ on electronics without first addressing room acoustics is fruitless IMO. -
Think I'll pick a copy of this today!

Andrew, could you please check with Rotel if it is possible to upgrade "old" RSP-1066's to 100 MHz bandwidth?
I belive that the video bandwitdth is the only real flaw in the old RSP 1066 (considering price) - provided that the double bass issue is fixed.Comment

I just received my January 2002 issue of Stereophile Guide to Home Theater which is the Products of the Year Editors Choice edition.
In the Surround-Sound Processor category the RDC-7 won the Gold Award. Bested only by the Lexicon MC-12 ($9,995) which won the Platinum Award. Not too shabby ! -
This month's issue of Stereophile's Guide To Home Theater has a review of the C-2/A-51 combo. It grades out at the top of the heap in sound quality, sound quantity, build quality and reliability according to the reviewer (Steve Stone?).
This review did raise a couple of questions. The... -

The Perfect Vision did a nice review of the RDC-7 - it is available for download at http://www.integraresearch.com/.
Besides SGHT, has anyone else reviewed the RDC-7?

A good review of the amp is now posted on Stereophile's Guide to Home Theater's web site. Tom Norton seemed impressed with it and favorably compared it to a $5k amp from Proceed.
