    RB 1080 & RSP 1066/8 & B&W 703's ??

    Anyone heard this match up ?? It sounds like it should be an awesome combination ...

    Thinking about getting some decent floor standers to crowd me out further in my pint sized lounge... but hey what else you going to do ...!!!! :lol:

    This is a very personal combo.As all systems as long as you have the correct amount of power to drive the speakers correctly,then the rest is personal preference.
    I have heard B&W with rotel gear many times and left with a smile on my face.I have Installed the combo and find it to be pleasing to me.

    What I feel you need to do is find a dealer and spend some time there.alot of time.I spend at least a few hours demoing stuff,then most of the time it's 2 to 3 trips before I decide if this is right for me.

    Good luck,

    Dmantis

      For sure Rotel and B&W tend to work well together for most people and should be a good combo. However as Dmantis pointed out at this level it's more a matter of personal preference. As such you should go and listen to Rotel/B&W as well as many other combinations as you can get your ears on so you can get a good idea of what you like the sound of and of the equipent you like, which works out best for you financially.

      It's definitely a good place to start though :T

        Recommended ASW-750 Subwoofer Low-Pass Setting for 703s
        by bnieman
        Hello!

        I just got a ASW-750 subwoofer to pair with my 703s. I am wondering what I should set the low-pass filter at for optimum performance when listening to CDs in stereo. My guess would be the low frequency limit of the 703s.

        I am also curious as to how loud others turn...

        Connecting 2 center speakers on RSP / RSX
        by csuzor
        Can the RSX or RSP effectively handle 2 center channel speakers?

        I have come to a preliminary conclusion that I need 2 center channel speakers, the 1st an HTM7 below the TV, and the 2nd a 704 / 703 standing next to the TV, for optimum sound quality. There will obviously be some compromise...

        My comparision of RSP 1098 to Denon AVC A1SE+ (AVR5803) (long)
        by Ossi
        So the last 2 days I have been listening intensively to the RSP 1098 and my “old” Denon AVC A1SE+ which is more known as AVR 5800+ (with upgrade) in the US.
        This comparison does only represent personal view of both units side by side. However I thought it might be interesting to let you guys...

        Setting volume levels on RSP-1098 - rears seem soft?
        by jlee
        Hello. I just got my RSP-1098. Firmware is version 3.1 (I guess the 2 week wait was worth it... seems as if I ended up with the most recent version). I just got my Classe CAM-200 for the center channel yesterday.

        Setup:
        Left, Center, Right - CAM-200
        Rear - RB-1080

        Trading in 704s for 703s
        by mrpotto
        Ok, so here's what I've decided to do. I'm trading my 704s in for 703s (I have a deal with a local dealer where I get to apply purchase price of 704s towards the 703s so it will be about $800 out of pocket to do so). For now I plan to keep my HTM7 center (I've read on some audio forums that the HTM&...
