    Sound difference BTWN 1066 and 1075

    think I will notice a sound difference going from RSX 1055 to a dedicated amp like the 1075 and then keeping the 1055 or getting a 1066.

    I will be running Paradigm studio 40s/20s/Studio CC and Sub.

    I am sort of rephrasing my previous question on the upgrade.

    Are the Amps in the 1055 going to come close to the sound I will get if I go seperates.

    I LOVE 2 channel music at good all volume levels. I play my 20's around 44-66 on my RSX 1055 right now with a good average being 56.

    I am most interested in the detail change and overall clarity.

    If I go with 1055 + 1075 will I then be able to use Zone 2 on 1055 with 2 of the channels from 1075 in my bedroom as well ?

    thanks

    I recently bought a 1055 for my audio/video room, but quickly realized that most of my time is spent listening to 2 channel music (80%/20%), and thought that I could do better. Don't get me wrong, I love my Rotel receiver. But, after much researching, I went with a separate Conrad-Johnson 2 channel amp just for my fronts (B&W).

    In a word - astounding. I've always been skeptical when people describe something as having a "better soundstage", "tighter bass", "better separation", etc. Now I know what they mean...and it's all true.

    I'm very happy I went with a separate amp for music and hopefully you will, too.

      1055/1080 or 1055/1075
      by Mike Hayes
      I now have the funds to proceed with the purchase of either a 1055/1080 or a 1055/1075 combo. I do not expect to be able to add a second amp down the road and will be using this system for the next couple of years for 5.1 and stereo applications (about 50/50 HT & Stereo). I am interested in multichannel...

      Stick to RSX1065 or go to 1055/1075 separates?
      by BleakShore
      I guess I'd like to hear/learn advices/experiences from those who have gone this route.

      That is, stick with the RSX1066, or exchange it for the RSX1055/RMB1075 combo? I bought it from Myer-Emco so I can do the exchange with no penalty.

      The reason I'm contemplating this...

      Any Way To Have 1055 Internal Amps Power Second Zone?
      by gostan
      Two days with mynew rsx-1055 and I have several questions. I do need a second amp to power my zone 2. I would like more power on the main channels. Since I have to purchase a second amp for zone 2 and since I got such a great deal on the 1055 (3 months old - traded to my dealer) I was wondering why...
