10 year old RX-1052

[mr.dlo]

I have a ten year old Rotel RX-1052 and have a few questions. The old speakers I was using have bit the dust. Is the RX-1052 worth keeping? If so, should I have it tested?

Also, I was thinking of getting Axiom M22 v4 bookshelf speakers, as the room isn't very large. Is that a good choice? If so, and I decide to add a subwoofer, any recommendations?

Thanks

The RX-1052 is an excellent 100 watt 2 channel stereo receiver! I suggest you dust it off and fire it up to see if it still works. If it works.......well then.......it works! No testing needed. This amp will destroy any bookshelf sized speaker and drive them with ease!

Your choice of speakers seems fine but Paradigm, PSB and B&W are also excellent choices too. I would suggest that you buy a powered sub (10 inches or larger) that matches your mains, both in model series and driver composition for a more seamless sound.
