I'm currently using a Pioneer Elite VSX55 Txi as a pre/pro and the Rotel 1075 as the amp (powering a Def Tech setup). I've been happy with the sound but made the mistake of popping into my dealer who said he'd swap the Pioneer (which I got from him about 5 months ago; added the amp about a month ago) plus around $100 for a Rotel 1068. That's gotten me thinking. While I realize the best thing to do is to try out and listen to the 1068 in my system, I'd like to know people's thoughts on whether this would be considered an improvement or more a lateral move. I've read various things which suggest that there is not much difference between receivers and pre/pros in the $2500 (Canadian) range. Your thoughts?

Personally I'd say it's better but the only way you'll know for sure is to try them both out.

instead why don't you see how much xtra $$ would be needed for a 1098 instead of a 1068!
(I think) that would be an awsome move!!- - - - - - - - - -

For a $100 difference I'd do it in a heartbeat :E As the others said though ask about going to a 1098 if you have the resources to do that :WComment

First Question: When turning on my system, I turn on the tv, 1068, and HD DSS receiver. I have not yet programmed my pronto so I am not doing it any particular order. What... -
Alright, this topic seems to be discussed too often but the upgrade bug is upon me.....I have the pioneer elite 23fd blu-ray connected to my 1068 via analog. In this situation the pioneer handles all the decoding and my 1068 is set to multi-input making it a large volume knob. The sound is excellent... -
Something odd occurred while setting up my 1068 I picked up the other day.
First off - I run my HDTV signal directly to a Pioneer Elite Pro-510HD (2 component video ins available).
My DVD, XBOX, and PS2 run through the 1068 and back out to the second component in on the... -
Until just a month ago, I had a SD Sony 36” Wega CRT as the video component of my system. Feeding it, using component from the 1068, was an S-Video cable box and a S-Video/Component 480p Pioneer DVD/CD player/recorder. Sound from the Cable Box and the DVD/CD Player was via the digital coax and... -
Hi all,
I used to post here under a different name but I've been away for a while. I've been simply enjoying my system and have had no upgradeitis in nearly two months (!)
Now to my problem. My DVD player is a Pioneer DV-363 which is connected to my RSP-1068 (firmware rev...
