As some of you might know, I bought an open box Rotel last week and expressed my deepest distaste for it as it did not meet the performance that I expected. I upgraded from a 1055 as a pre/pro and being that it was an open box, I thought that there was something wrong with it sonically so I was able to exchange it out for another one. Lucky for me, the dealer didnt have any more open box units so he gave me a brand new one for the same price as an open box($2200). Hows that for a deal?
Well...I would like to thank everyone for hanging in there and trying to help me as I am now a firm Rotel believer again. This new unit quite simply ROCKS! This was the upgrade I was looking for. I watched the Alamo and Walking Tall and was in disbelief at how good the sound was. This is definately a step or two up from the 1055. Everything just came to life. Details, transparency, just sonically victorious over the 1055. I popped in some cds and immediately noticed the difference. It was night and day difference from my 1055 and the faulty open box 1098 that I returned. There was just so much more detail and crispness in sound that my I was floored and ecstatic at the newfound sonics I was hearing.
I no longer have buyers remorse as I did when I first brought the open box unit home. Now I would say that this upgrade was justifiable and it paid itself off with improved sound. So it gets my utmost recommendation to all the people who are skeptical about upgrading to this unit. It is sonically satisfying and a bag of chips.
