The preamp/processor circuitry layout is more cramped on the RSX-1055 as compared to the RSP-1066. Obviously, since they need to fit in the amplifier and tuner sections in the same size box.
People on this forum claim that pre-pro sound quality is identical between the RSX-1055 and RSP-1066. I had my dealer A/B both as a prepro feeding the RMB-1095 and driving a pair of high quality B&W loudspeakers.
IMHO , the RSP-1066 sounded more open when used as a 2 channel analog preamp, e.g. for a high quality CD player such as an Arcam CD72T. I did not do an A/B for multichannel HT.
The RSP-1066 and RMB-1055 may use similar components, however the better (less cramped) layout and lack of a power amplifier section and dealing with the associated noise does make a difference, at least for two channel stereo listening.Comment

Hello,

Hello,
I finally registered since I had something useful to add. More to come.
I've spent a good deal of time characterizing the Rotel RSP-1066's bass management under all input conditions. Below is the link to my web page with Rotel's Bass management report and workarounds... -
After making an effort to piece together an understanding of bass management in the 1055/1066 through various sources including Club Rotel, I posted the thread: "Come on Rotel -- help us out!"
After posting that thread I also sent a similar letter to Rotel. Rather than getting...
