Hello, I just joined the forum after cruising the open threads and seeing there are some knowledgeable folks here, I figured I would try to tap into the brains of people who have a much higher knowledge base than I do. I would consider myself very new to home theater, I have a current set up that is just a shade better than a big box kit that you would find at best buy. I bought it on a budget and it has worked for me but I definitely want more. I have been into car audio for the better part of 15 years and have always appreciated sound quality over sheer SPL. I do like to watch movies at high volume and listen to my music at even higher volume. I am currently in the market for a receiver, or preamp/amp set up that I would like to use in the home I am about to putt an offer on. It has a large TV room and is going to need a decent amount of sound to fill. I was considering a Rotel RSP-1098 and a Rotel RMB-1095 to start me off. I chose those mainly because I see them listed on craigslist at a price comparable (about $1300 for both) to a nice receiver. Do you think I should look to other options for that price range? I know the 1098 doesn’t have HDMI but how important is that? Any suggestions for the $1300 price range would be awesome. Thank you! Mike
