I am testing a 1065 right now and it sounds great! My question is will 1 1055 plus the 1075 amp sound enough better if at all to justify the extra 300.00?

A somewhat of a tough question. The 1065 has a good power section and uses a heavy duty torodial transformer. The extra 20 watts per channel (of the 1075) would not increase your volume capability much at all. The main thing you would gain is a little extra head room for dynamic passages.
What speakers are you using? If they are pretty efficient, save the $300 bucks. If they are moderately inefficient, or if you plan to drive the system hard, go for the 1055/1075 combo.
You really can't go wrong either way.

Going with the 1055/1075 combo will allow you to have a 6.1 or 7.1 system to fully take advantage of the DTS-ES format. Without adding another amp to the 1066, you won't be able to take advantage of the format.

thanks for the reply's guys. Is the transformer in the 1065 as big as the one in the 1075 amp? Just looking at the size of the 1075 as compared with the 1065 I was thinking the 1075 would have much more electronics in it than the 1065's amp sectionComment

Hi Guys,
I have posted in the past about Rotel but ended up with a Primare ht amp which I did like but was frustrating to use and frustratingly unreliable so it's been sold and I'm back to Rotel again.
My plan is to have a 2 ch and surround using the same speakers but with a ht amp... -
All,
I am seriously considering the purchase of a Rotel 1065 receiver, and have been reviewing the posts on this forum. I note that there is a lot of info on the 1066+Amp, and 1055, but relatively little on the 1065. I will be using it with B&W N804, N805, and HTM2.

So, here's the deal.
Demo'd the 1065, NAD T672 and Pioneer Elites. Rotel won. Or else I wouldn't be here, right?
But then the dealer didn't have it in stock (holding out for the silver, but let's not get sidetracked on that because I'm even rethinking the color choice).... -
What are make, model, and spec's of the D/A and A/D converters and the DSP chipset used in Rotel 1065 and 1055 receiver's. I had read that the DAC's are from AKM and are 96kHz/24-bit. Is this correct? -
8O I'm new to the site and glad I found it as I could use some help. I'm building a HT system but music is a primary concern as I listen to music 80% of the time and movies 20%. I was ready to buy the RSX 1065 until I heard it next to the 1066/1075. No comparison. I was going to spring for the separates...
