    Researching new receiver .. anyone try the Rotel 1550?

    Probably bad choice of words.What i meant was video processing,the marantz except 480i to 408p wont do anything so 1080i/1080p or whatever is passed w/o any degradation.Realized i said processing should of been more specific and said video processing.There is also a good write up on hometheater...

    Researching new receiver .. anyone try the Rotel 1550?

    I used to have the Rotel rsx1056,had some minor issues but sound was good.I upgraded to Marantz sr8002 in my opinion blew away the Rotel(which i liked).The Marantz sr8002 has 4 hdmi's and 2 out(Only 1 at a time).Musically it's fantastic as i have had other marantz recievers(still have 2).This...

    Need help buying a new receiver

    I just replace a rotel rsx1056 with a marantz sr8002.Finally connected the marantz today.It's in the early stages but i will tell you that there is no compromise between the rotel and the marantz for SQ.That includes 2 channel.I can only assume the marantz will get better since its early.

    Need help buying a new receiver

    FWIW,i disconnected my rsx1056 the other day and recieved my marantz sr8002 yesterday.Havent been able to set it up yet.The marantz i think would be a great option especially if SQ is also important to you.Additionally i also had marantz prior to the rotel and i dont think you'll go wrong with...

    rotel to marantz ?

    Little bit of dilemna here.Rotel is way behind and nothing is coming in the future.Even the rsx1058 is way overpriced for what you get or dont get.I have an opportunity to get either a 7002 or 8002 for a significant price.7002 for 980. the 8002 for 1,400.So i may be selling my rotel RSX1056.I...

    ? on best crossover setting.

    My rec. allows me to set mains,center,surrounds individually from 40-200(increments of 10).If i leave mains to 80 i assume the sub to 80 would also be right.The surrounds to 100-120 has me a little confused.Should'nt they also be at 80.

    Need opinion, Def Tech pro-cinema 80, Paradigm cinema. 90 or Klipsch Quintet III??

    The studio monitors would probably be ideal since they can be placed in an entertainment center/wall unit.But if the small speakers are only for surround duty then any of the procinema's like the 80's/60's would probably do.I never heard the studio monitors but i read they are very good...

    Need opinion, Def Tech pro-cinema 80, Paradigm cinema. 90 or Klipsch Quintet III??

    I had the procinema 100's for 4 years in a 19 x 21 room and they did fantastic for movies as well as HT.I had them with a 200tl def.tech sub.and the c1 center(not the 100 center).I also still have the take 5 in another room and they are no match for the def.tech's.You can go with the 100's or...
