Pictures of your Rotel Set-up

[Pez]

Pez, sweet!
Is your equipment rack custom made? And whats the platter measurement please, it looks perfect!

Thanks!

The rack is a Salamander Archetype. I love how its 100% adjustable. Its a pain to put together and get level but the results are worth it. I was going to make my own following the same desgin but living in apartment and having no decent tools or workspace makes DIY projects a little tough.

Shelf spacing is about 4.75 inches (is that what you mean by "platter measurement"). The shelf with the 1068 is a little bigger and the 1077 a little smaller. Trying to the shelves level is no small task, to make it easy and uniform I simply used DVD cases as spacers.

hi

this is my first post here :T
first of all, sorry for my poor english ;x(

I have a question... :twisted:

- I would buy a Rotel RSP-1098...

BUT

when ROTEL make a new model with HDMI in/out?!
RSP-1098 haven't it!
example: a new RSP-1099 with this connections?!

- this pre, is it ok with Rotel RMB-1077 and B&W XT series?!

thank you
I wish you a nice day!

[Wardo]

Here is mine. I have bought way more than I can fit in this entertainment center. A new one is coming soon.

That is absolutly awesome! bi-amped studio 100v3's with rb-1090's. I have my 100's running with a single 1090 and am totally blown away at how GOOD it sounds. You must have felt it was worth while to get two 1090's, I would like to know how much of an improvement you would get with running 2 1090's over 1 1090.

Cheers, David

Thank you David! It is rather impressive to say the least.
I did and do think it was worth having 2 1090's. these amps do an INCREDIBLE job for any price range.
I listen to music at very high SPL's and at those levels I would get some distortion, I was pushing one 1090 as far as it would go. Now I have more clarity and soundstage than ever and the week link is now the Studio 100's, I am bottoming them out now. That's ok with me though, I still have crystal clear music at 110bd+, all the way up to where I bottom out the bass drivers on the studios. Wich is really too loud anyway...lol
If you have the money and you like it very loud and crystal clear, this is the only way to go.

"Uh... no honey, I don't see anything under the table... what do you mean?" :T

PB12+2 is the ultimate in Home Theater Subwoofage Price/Peformance.
Two is what I'd do too... (Sounds kinda seussy)

[Nolan B]

I posted once a long time ago, but my system has totally changed as of yesterday. A BIG THANKS to Kevin D for spending a lot of his time helping me with a custom step in the setup.

It may not be audiophile, but my loft can not support that. I have been trying to build a solid Lifestyle 2ch/Home Theater system.

Rotel RSX 1068
Rotel RMB 1077
Rotel RCD 1072

B&W FPMs
B&W PV1

Fujitus 50"
B&O AV Rack/Cable covers
Richard Grey 600s
Toshiba HD A1
Xbox 360

Mine's been changing a bit lately ... but settled down now, here's a new pic.
Ignore the cables at bottom (ooo and the dust heheheh) ... kit list in sig.

Vancouver, very impressive set-up you got there.
Great selection of components and a nice clean install.

Vancouver:

If you recently sold your rsx-1067, what price did you get for it?

[Nolan B]

Vancouver:

my dealer gives me full trade in value when i make a reasonable upgrade. In my case i went from a RSX 1067/RDV 1060 to a RSP 1068/1077/1072 and i got an apx $3500 trade in towards it. I have gone from a entery Denon amp, and B&W 300s to my current set up largely due to the great upgrade progam.

[Blindamood]

Wow, that's a great program. Wish my dealer would do that. Instead, I've been resolved to sell my stuff on audiogon.com, and apply that toward my upgrades. Fortunately, both Rotel and B&W hold their values very well in the used market.

The only condition is I must upgrade within a year of buying the equipment and it does not apply to video equipment. I am surprised your dealer does not offer this program as I thought it was supported by B&W and Rotel.

It works great if you think about it form the dealers point of view. First off There is no discounts on trade in meaning I trade on what price i paid vs the full MSRP of the new product. There are also always people looking for quality used AV equipment. Think of it this way. I have spent over 25k in the last 4 years with my dealer..it would likely be half that or less if they didnt offer a trade in program.

They are good to me and I am good to them.

Here is a shot for anyone looking to see what a RCD-1072/RC-1070/RB-1080 stack looks like in silver. It's pushing a pair of Paradigm Signature S4's.

Eventually I'll put 'em on some sort of stand/platform. Haven't found anything I like yet though... :B

[Joey_V]

My goodness..... and how old are you again??

Nice veneer on the S4! Heard them running on Anthem amps a few days ago, thought they were clean and clear throughout the frequency range.

Very nice Nick! I sure that's a great combo of equipment. I want to get a 2nd system, and what you have is just what i was thinking of.

[Isaac]

New B&W speakers!

Here is my new B&W's with my ROTEL gear. Slowly converting to 2-channel Stereo.

[sirbogey]

Isaac, nice going. My system looked very similar to yours for couple of years. Now I'm thinking of maintaining a HT system, but am also slowly converting into a 2 channel stereo. What are you getting? I'm thinking of adding a shanling or jalida CD player to my 1098, 1075, 1060...

[jan arild]

Here is a link to my Rotel system.

[DSGCobra]

new TV and new center channel update pics...

61" JVC 1080P and new Paradigm studio reference 660 I believe.

[Trapps]

This thread is fantastic! I've been building my system for years; I bought my first RB970BX in 1995.

[PewterTA]

I'd have to say Sarsi, I give that :T :T

[sarsi]

I'd have to say Sarsi, I give that :T :T

Thanks PewterTA , add any new toy to your setup lately ? X'mas round the corner any itch to upgrade

[adamd123]

Man I am almost ashamed to post this here after seeing some of the most of your setups. But Here it is anyways.

Cheers!

[jim777]

Don't be ashamed! That's a nice setup,

Looks like you got your speakers strait on a carpet, you should install the spikes on the front speakers and sub. More solid the speakers, more clean will be the sound

[PewterTA]

Yeah don't be ashamed, that's about as nice as what I have, I just have the 1098/1095/1080 combo instead, well and my backs are 602s(x4).

Sarsi, the only thing I've added to my HT is a 56" 1080p Samsung DLP with the HD cable...that's all for the moment...and probably will be for a while. I've got too many other thing to save up for (aka house).

[voxy]

Thanks PewterTA , add any new toy to your setup lately ? X'mas round the corner any itch to upgrade

Hi Sarsi, nice eqpt & accessories you've got there. :T :T :T

But did I see you stacking your RB1092 on the RMB1095? Wouldn't the 1095 fry the ICEamps and in turn fry your 1098? 8O

[rick c]

Hope this works.My humble setup.Would love to be able to atleast compete with some of these wonderful setups.http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2...ys-pics119.jpg

[PewterTA]

Rick, it looks good, I have the same speakers I believe (600s?). Might I suggest you try bringing those speakers out from the cabinet. I bet you'd get a much better sound.

Thanks. The new setup is now my wife favourite as well

I got little choice due to the small living space I have. I have been stacking my HT/HiFi equipments for many years (10+ years now), "touch wood" so far nothing have been fried . The 1098 used to be sitting on the 1095 before I add the 1092, the setup have been for almost 2 years now. The 1095 never get very hot but surprising only warm.

[rick c]

Oh, i do but when the room gets cleaned they keep putting the speakers back.It's never ending.
