The 1095 is top of the line Rotel with THX Ultra spec. It is highly respected and owners tend to love them dearly. Not entry level at all. T.

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hp?bannerid=24 ??? I think I want one of these to complement a cheap stereo channel preamp. This is a cheap option believe me because otherwise I'd be after a McLaren or Integra Research. However I do not know if they offer a 240v version and I feel...

Just keep the volume down. Even if you use power hungry speakers like 3-4 ohm units, you should be able to run it off a cheap junk Sony receiver as long as you don't wind the volume up. T.

It has real digital amplifiers? T.

To play the devil's advocate... I'm sure Parasound gave them all the free equipment they wanted in return for THX licensing. I have a Parasound btw. so I'm not biased. T.

Well durrr... it is THX Ultra specced :D T.

Where might one buy a Korsun? It would be worth it just for curio value... T.

Which one of these has Firewire? This if for audio? Or video? T.

Marantz have never put their manuals up in PDF format. Since their RC2000 remotes are so popular and so complex, you would think they would oblige. "This may be the last Marantz product I buy. I really think their quality is top notch but the customer service is horrible." Agree 110% on...

I think this is an update to their older THX Ultra unit. It has a 2 position motorised door! T.

Every so often I play dumb and listen to their bullcrap. But they never know more than I do - so why bother? T.

Do people here have comprehension problems? This is what I wrote: "I have never seen an THX Surround EX products that were less than 7.1 decoded channels." This is what I didn't write: "I have never seen an THX Surround EX products that were less than 7.1 encoded channels." See...

If your unit has THX Surround EX well then you really have no need for Dolby EX. I have never seen an THX Surround EX products that were less than 7.1 decoded channels. I may have seen some Dolby EX products with 7.1 but most were 6.1 from memory. I could be wrong... T.

Ummm... THX Surround EX 7.1 (ie. two matrix rears) Dolby Digitial EX 5.1 (ie. one matrix rear center) Isn't that the difference? Are there Dolby EX products with 7.1? T.
