    Why not a "Trade Up" offer from Rotel on the 1098?

    The 1098 is looking mighty attractive to me these days...

    Anyone out there think we could convince Rotel to follow Lexicon and Bryston's (and many others) example and offer a trade in on the new 1098...

    No more bass management issues.

    Anyone care to comment or has anyone spoken to Rotel on this idea?

    I certainly would consider this option...... Not holding my breath though.

        It's not Rotel, but the dealer that can offer you a trade up. I already ordered my RSP-1098, and my dealer told me he would give me 100% credit on my RSP-1066 if it's less then 1 year old, and bought from them...

        It's not uncommon. I do this since 3 years for my DVD-player and my speakers, so I upgrade once a year with 100% credit. that's why i don,t shop on the internet, and I always go see the same dealer. :LOL:
        To spend more $$$ on electronics without first addressing room acoustics is fruitless IMO.

          My dealer also offers upgrading program:

          Home Theater Receivers and Pre-Pros=2%/month depreciation
          Amplifiers, speakers, DVD/CD players, Stereo receivers: 100% credit for first year, 1%/month depreciation after that

          I have been with the same dealer since 1990 and gone through a lot of different audio gear. Not only they offer upgrading program, but also their customer service is top notch.

          Next upgrade is RSP-1098 followed by RMB-1095 and speakers. I can’t wait

          Thanks,
          Maziar

            Mariar,

            I have been to Ottaw frequently in the last six weeks and will be going again soon. What is the dealer there that you buy from?

            Thanks,

              I am shocked and hurt you calling me Mariar. It sounds like a girls name 8O

              The dealers name is Dewar Audio ( Website ). They are very knowledgeable people about the products they sell and their customer service is just excellent.

              Thanks,
              Maziar

                Okay, Maziar your cheque is in the mail And there won't even be any retribution for the virus that turned out not to be a virus :LOL:

                Wanderso.

                I work for the dealer Maziar mentioned. First my apologies if you actually went to our site. It's hopelessly out of date(we're working on a new site). We'd be happy to help you, but you do have to come to the store or else we'd be in violation of our agreement with Rotel. Also you should be aware of a few things first. If you decide to purchase from us, a dealer in Winnipeg wouldn't necessarily be obliged to repair your piece if anything went wrong. We do have a 1-800 number though and have clients all over the globe(Sarajevo is currently about the furthest one). Generally our long distance clients just use ground shipping for service or trading up. Our philosophy is not to discount the price of the product but to charge full price and try to add value to the ownership experience(eg. nobody is on commission so no trying to upsell you, trade up program, enhanced warranty, 1-800 number good for all North America, and committment to constantly updating our training).
                Also probably both a pro and a con is we are a little anal when it comes to some things like having identical speakers all the way around in home theaters(you hear that all of you reading this?....IDENTICAL I tells ya!!! :twisted: or at least the front 3. Death to the infidel centre channel speaker!)...errmm okay enough of that. :P

                Sorry for the long spiel just wanted to let you know about some of the potential draw backs and benefits with buying from us. Anyways like I said in the beginning we'd be glad to help you if you do drop by our neck of the woods.

                  Actually, I am VERY happy with my local dealer, but I was looking for somewhere to VISIT when I was in Ottawa!!!

                    I'm currently looking at switching out of my Marantz SR-18 refernce receiver and going into sperates. I've looked at the Rotel 1098 and the Parasound's C1. I do have a few...

                    RSP-1098 with 7.1 THX Setup?
                    by whmacs
                    Hi All,
                    A few months ago I upgraded my setup to 7.1 using Jamo 6LCR THX speakers and added Rotel RMB-1075 and RB-1070 amps to my Onkyo 787 to provide outboard amplification. This has added new life to the Onkyo giving it a big powerful sound.

                    I'm now thinking of replacing the Onkyo...

                    Rotel RSP-1098
                    by Tobby
                    Is there anyone out there who have the firmware updates for a Rotel RSP-1098 downloaded? Since Rotel has stopped sharing them…
                    I would like to have the files for s-video versions of the 1098. I have only the files for the hdmi version and have bought a s-video version 😊

                    New DSP-1098 owner; Questions on MP3 & HDCD
                    by daidavel
                    I'm the proud owner of a new DSP-1098 ... my first Rotel component! Love it so far ... it's used primarily for home theater. I'm curious about the MP3 and HDCD capabilities though. HDCD is new to me, do I simply put a HDCD in my CD player and use the digital optical cable to connect the CD player to...

                    Got my new RSP-1098 - a question/problem
                    by sramsay
                    Hi All,

                    Well I finally did it and upgraded my RSP-980 and RDA-975 to the RSP-1098 using a Rotel RB-985 AMP.

                    First of all, the new processor is a beast. The 2 channel music is great and the surround sound processing is magic in comparison to my old gear.

                    I...
