I checked to see if this has been asked before with no luck... I've got to believe that the rsp has many more features but the spec in the rotel site don't seem to prove that out....
Thanks

no there are some subtle differences between the two hardware wise but in my system they sound extremely close when used as pre amps so they're far closer to been twins then cousins. The 1066 does have a slightly lower noise floor on paper but that's the biggest difference between them and the reason a lot of people are choosing to use 1055's as pre amps over the 1066 (since the 1055 is cheaper)

I am using a RSX972 as a pre/pro. How does it compare to the RSP976 or the RSP1066 as a pre/pro? I am using it along with a RB985 to bi-amp my Mirage OM/Msi speakers.Comment

The 972 doesnt' have as many features as the 1055/1066's do but since I haven't heard one side by side I can't say for sure how close it will be to the more expensive models. If I had to guess I'd say the noise floor would be a little higher on the 972 but I'd have to look up the specs to be sure.

I should have stated it earlier but my requirements are a little more critical for audio than HT... I'm trying to come up with a setup that had minimal "stuff" in the path for audio and all the required processing for HT. It sounds like there is no significant downside the having the built in amps... I'm thinking about using a Rogue tube amp for the front channels and use the internal amps for the surrounds and the front and back centers. This will give me the ability to bypass the rsp 1055 for music and just use the Rogue.
This could be cool....

Sounds like a plan!

Wondering if anyone has actually compared the 2/3 processors. I know for features the Rotel blows It away but im curious for sound quality. I am running a ROTEL 1075 amp.
Any other Pre/pro's i should be looking at? I tried the Atlantic Technologies {outlaw 950} and hated it compared to the... -
A question for the experts here. You folks have previously convinced me to look at purchasing a RSX1055 over a Denon AVR4802R.
In reviewing the Rotel RSX1055, I was curious of what I would gain if anything by getting a RSP1066/RMB0175 combo over the RSX1055/RMB1075 combo. Thanks in advance... -
I know this could likely have gone in the Club Rotel but I wanted to show people that receivers can make decent pre amps in some cases....
As luck would have it I am presently lucky enough to own both the Rotel 1055 receiver and the Rotel 1066 pre amp. For those that don't know about... -
Hi!
As I still have my RSX1055, I'm really pissed off by the fact that Rotel haven't provided a firmware update since 2003 (V1.50/2.26)!! I remember a thread on this forum listing a whole lot of issues/bugs about the 1055/1066 that we hoped would get fixed in a firmware update, but I... -
RB991+ rsp 1066/68 big difference vs marantz pre?
