    Wait or Jump?

    Hi to all and thanks for all the good advise! I'm new to Rotel and just bought a RMB 1095[$1300 2months used] and have heard the 1066. I do like this product and also the Anthem AVM20. My question is, should I wait for the new product lines to come out, or jump on getting either unit at a good sale price? Oh, buy the way does the bass management problem pertain to 2 channel or 5 channel opperation without a sub? Thanks!

    There isn't going to be any new product coming out anytime soon other then the 1098 pre amp which will cost about twice what the 1066 does.

    The bass management depends more on if your speakers are set to small or large.

      I am in the same situation. I recently got my 1095 and I am flirting with the AVM20. I think it is safe to say that 1066 can not play in
      the same league with the Anthem. Considering that the Anthem sells for double the price of the 1066 it is not even fair to compare them. So I am definetly waiting for the 1098 to show up and then I am going to take it from there

        don't be so quick to judge While I agree the anthem should sound better then the 1066 from those that have compared the two the differences are rather slim. The Anthem does have more features and flexibility though.

          I don't know why but we don't see much talk about this pre-pro anymore, so I've decide to post a "mini-review", because it's a direct comparaison between an almost top of the line receiver and a dedicated pre-pro. I see alot of post on this "hot subject": good receiver or real pre-pro,...

          Processors: Rotel or Anthem
          by DrJRapp
          I currently own a Rotel RSP 1066 processor which I desire to upgrade to improve the sonics of my system. I have looked at the 1068 and 1098 Rotel unit's but honestly, I'm very turned off by the fact that Rotel promised a degree of upgrade ability in my 1066 then less than a year later abandoned it....
