    Rotel / Emotiva?

    hello all,

    would you switch a rotel-rsp1068 for home theater use only for the $200 cheaper emotiva umc1? the rotel rsp1068 would be used for 2-channel sterio only?

      I know the UMC-1 was a bit problematic for people early on. I don't know if they sorted it all out or not. This thread on AVS seems to be the place to research it. It hasn't had any activity since March.

      I think Emotiva is releasing a newer model processor sometime in early '12.

              I've got a RMB-1575 hooked up to a UMC-1 and enjoy the combo.
              Sounds pretty clean.
              yes the UMC-1 still has a bug or 2, but nothings a show stopper.
              It's an awesome unit for the price.
              and, no, I don't use their native Eq feature. I just use a decibel meter and I'm good to go.

                          what rotel sterio preamp can i use witheither 985 or 991 power amps please
                          by mickyboy
                          have denon 3802 rotel991 and 985 power amps, not really getting the improvement i was looking for rotel powers vs 3802 with 2 channel sterio with b&w cdm1nts, rather than sell denon at a loss and purchase say 1066 processer, all more money,

                          i was wondering if trying second hand...

                          Rotel 1069 or to-be-released Emotiva processor?
                          by kmcheng
                          Has anyone done a comparison of Rotel vs. Emotiva in terms of their processors? I am about to pull the trigger on the Rotel 1069, but then I came across the Emotiva UMC-1. The Emotiva unit has not been released yet. However, I am wondering if anyone has listened to some previous versions of Emotiva's...

                          Heroes in 5-channel sterio?
                          by june
                          Hello All,

                          Was your sound in 5-channel sterio while watching Heroes on 11/06/06? We use Comcast Cable for HD in the Philly area. All other HD channels was okay for sound. Maybe it was a NBC issue.
