Subject says it all for those of you who weren't aware. I read this in the January 2003 Stereophile Guide to Home Theater review on the Rotel 1066 last night. The review also mentions that Rotel is planning on shipping the unit with a new remote to replace the 969 in early 2003. Good news for...

Joe, I do not currently have a rotel in my system, but came very close to buying one. I've heard the 1066 vs. the Denon 3802 used as a preamp mated with a Rotel RMB-1095 and believe the Rotel to be superior sonically, despite some of its other shortcomings. I'm currently without a preamp of...

Sold to Charles L! Thanks Charles for a smooth transaction! Everyone else, don't hesitate to sell to this gentleman. -Dan

I had the opportunity to listen to the Rotel and while it is a very nice piece it is not on par with even a Lexicon DC-1 v4. The flexibilty is just not there which is what make the Lex so great. Eric, can you elaborate on this? Are you referring to sound quality or tweakability of the...

Shawn, I probably am thing of the Cirrus Extended Surround--here's a snippet from the Rotel 1066 manual on Rotel's website: "The RSP-1066 also features Rotel XS (eXtended Surround) processing that automatically ensures optimum extended surround performance on 6.1 and 7.1 channel systems...

There really is no comparison between circle surround and logic7...your back to the vw vs rolls royce analogy Have you actually heard Circle Surround processing in a direct comparison to Logic 7? What unit did you sample it on? I'd like to understand what was so much better... can you elaborate?

So, how many of you out there have compared Logic 7 laid over a 5.1/6.1 source to Circle Surround processing (like on the 1066) laid over those same sources? I've read many owners of the Rotel 1066 (and Outlaw 950 (same chipset) owners) that prefer this processing to straight DD EX or DTS ES 6.1...

"What logic7 does is open up the front sound stage more..it sends more info to the left and right speaker where as prologic2 relys fairly heavily on the center." Actually one of the benefits of ProLogic II is that it includes 3 user adjustable settings for the processing, one of which is...

Well, I can't speak much for the Lexicon either from first hand experience, but for what it's worth, a reputable audio dealer of both Lexicon and Rotel preamps in my area recommended the Rotel 1066 over a used Lexicon DC1 or DC2 with Version 4 software (which he also had available). I also...

I haven't rejected it, I just didn't think it was available in my price range... What's the cheapest you can buy this unit? Also, here's a snippet I received from someone who's selling a B&K Ref 30: " I was going to sell initially because I was going to get the ref 50. After much research...

Thanks everyone for the info. I think I'm going to try out a Rotel 1066 if I can find a dealer who will discount it a little (I'd like to pick one up for ~$1300 or so new). The B&K was very tempting, but I figure I'll have to invest more money in it for upgrades (Prologic II, DTS-ES Discrete...

I basically decided to unload my 3802 which was performing fine because I kept reading comments like "when I moved from using the 3802 to a dedicated processor, the increase in clarity and definition was eye-opening...", etc. I currently have a 15k speaker setup that I believe was being somewhat...

Thanks for the replies thus far guys--keep 'em coming. Here's my thoughts so far: First and foremost, in my opinion, I don't forsee digital (firewire) connections for high res audio formats becoming mainstream in 6 months... Sure it's available in from top-shelf Denon and Pioneer...

Well, I just sold my Denon 3802 which I had been using as a pre-pro with my Rotel RMB-1095 5 channel amp (200x5 @8ohms, 330x5 @4ohms). I'm now looking for a new 6.1/7.1 capable processor that will provide a noticeable improvement over the Denon. I've read great things about the Anthem AVM-20(?)...

YGM -Dan

YGM--$680 shipped. A couple more days and it's off to ebay. -Dan

Price is now $680 SHIPPED (U.S.)! Thanks for looking. -Dan

Charles, I've got a new one for sale--it's 1 month old and I just lowered the price to $680 + shipping. It has been used only as a preamp, thus the amplifiers in the receiver have never been used. I purchased it from an authorized retailer to use while I was on a waiting list for a dedicated...

Price lowered again to $680 + shipping. Somebody buy this--it's brand new! :emoji_thumbsup: -Dan

Still available :emoji_thumbsup: -Dan

YGM on a Technics SH-AC500 in great shape. -Dan

Unfortunately not... even though I need a new PC ;) Thanks though. -Dan

Greg, I purchased the unit from Auto & Audio Specialties in Provo, UT. They are listed on Denon's site as an authorized retailer in Utah. -Dan

Thanks for the clarification Yogi. Looking at the 3 knobs on my unit, I never would have noticed a difference (if they are in fact different). I wasn't able to find anything on the bass management bug (this is the first I've heard of it) on ecoustics. I did find these two reviews particularly...

Yo Yogi :) How did you conclude that the 3801 is built better than the 3802? Have you actually popped the covers of both and looked inside? I had a 3300 and a Luxman R491 (same unit on steroids) and they both look nearly IDENTICAL inside and out in comparison with my 3802 (with the obvious...

Bump for the weekend ;)

Price is now $699 + shipping. I will also provide the original receipt from an authorized retailer. -Dan
