Hi everyone. I am so glad that I found this board . . . it looks like it will provide lots of great information.
I'm considering upgrading my system from 2 channel to a 5.1 system. I currently have an RB-1080 powering my Paradigm Studio 80's. I do have some budget considerations and I was wondering if any of you are using the RSX-1056 in tandem with the RB-1080? If I went this way I assume it would be possible to utilize my Studio 80's for the L/R main speakers in HT and 2 channel mode (powered by the 1080) and use the RSX-1056 to power the center channel and surrounds? I'd be looking at Paradigm Reference speakers for the center channel and surrounds. I'm thinking that the 1056 would have ample power for CC and surround duty.
Would this configuration be a decent match? I'm pretty sure that a seperate 5 channel power amp and processor would be out of my price range, hence the reason I was looking at the receiver. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this pros and cons of this combo.
Are there any other considerations that you can think of?
Thanks in advance!
