New AV purchase

[docnobel]

Hi,

I am at the edge of purchasing a new AV-receiver. After listening to several options among which the Arcam AVR-300 and the Rotel rsx-1055 I decided the Rotel sound is more my sound. However the rsx-1055 is the older model. Should I go for the rsx-1056 dispite the EUR 400,-- price difference and why?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Better components (sound quality), better bass management & DPLIIx.

It really comes down to how good a deal you can get on the 1055 as it's a fine reciever on it's own but the 1056 is better and if the dealer isn't willing to give you a substantial discount I'd go with the new one.
