Ron, I have the HTD Level 3 Combo Y, minus the sub. I am extremely happy with their performance, especially for the price. I compared them w/Paradigm and NHT and I think they were just as good and much less expensive. I actually ended up upgrading all my equipment as I didn't fell i was...

I'm looking to hook up my Xbox to Mits 55857 via componenet cables. I'm not a total newbie and understand differences among cable quality but i'm really trying to save a buck and am curious if I can get away w/a cheapy set of components. If so, any recommendations. I've seen entry level Monster...

Hey Kyle, I have the HTD Level 3 and I think they're awesome. They're probably a step below most of the other speakers mentioned on these forums but they're also way less expensive. I just heard my buddies JBLs and they're okay but for the price of the Level 2s you can't go wrong. Plus you can...

Now that I have my Rotel 1066 I decided to go w/6.1 but I need a monoblock to drive the 6th speaker. Any recommendations for something decent in the sub $200 range. I'll probably use the monoblock for the center (htd level 3) and use my 3 channel rmb 1066 to drive the surrounds and rear...

Hey Will, I just upgraded the software on my 1066 and will be spending this weekend tweaking the system. I'm booked up the new few weekends so it may be a while till I can get out there for the shootout. If you still want to do this in a few weeks let me know. -Carlos

Will/Lewis, I may be up to volunteering my 1066 for the comparison. I'm in Alhambra and would love to stay local but West Hollywood isn't that far for me. Out of curiosity what kind of amps and speakers do you have Will? Let me know if you guys still want to do this. -Carlos

Juan, I tried that but unfortunately i don't have anyone nearby to audition. I'd like to get some feedback from owners and ultimately i'll make the journey to audition somewhere. Thanks, Carlos

I know the divas (4.1 package) get tons of love from the major forums but I want to specifically know if anyone has a/b'ed these with htd level 3 towers. I just got my htds about 2 months ago and while i'm extremely happy i just can't help but get caught up in all the buzz. I paid just over...

I had the same issues but decided against macros on the rotel remote. Not sure if you guys have Prontos but I downloaded a 1066 ccf file from remote central.com and that solved my problems. Of course, you can just learn all the commands yourself but why "rebuild the wheel"

Question for Brian or anyone else who already did the upgrade. I'd like to do the upgrade asap so I don't want to wait for Rotel to send me the cable. How did you guys make the cable. I'm not very tech savvy but if it's just a matter of buying a few parts and putting them together, I could...

I know this issue has been addressed in detail but I have an interesting situation and wanted some advice. I know I have ground loop issues. I've always had bar on tv and hum from tv. Doesn't bother me much but i'll address it soon. My issue now is that I just hooked up my Rotel rsp 1066...

I have a sony es 30 and a rotel rmb 1066 amp. the amp is bridged (3 x 150) to power my front soundstage. i'm about to get the rotel rsp 1066 and a rb 1070 (2 x 130). question is: should i use the 1070 to power the rears or use it to power the front L and R and use the rmb 1066 to...

It looks like the wife is gonna let me go truly separates w/in a few months, so i get to start researching now. currently, i have sony es30 working as pre/pro w/a rotel rmb 1066. so, the big question is do i wait possibly forever for the outlaw 950, or do i just go ahead and buy now...

After constant needling my buddy is finally ready to take the plunge. He has 2k budget for 5.1 sound setup. I've made some recommendations based mostly on my biases, but i'd like to hear what you guys would do. I'm thinking receiver, sub, 5 speakers. 2k probably won't be enough to add amp...

Hey Kevin, Are you bridging it into 3 ch. or running all six. Any words of wisdom for a new 1066 owner? -Carlos
