    Rotel RSP 1066

    Asking $399.00 OBO. I WILL SHIP at your expense. Get me your zip and I'll get a quote for you. I bought this new. We are non-smokers and I find absolutely no flaws with this unit. I rate it a 10/10 cosmetically and as a performer. It comes in all of the original packaging with the original...

    Audio Input Question

    So, I posted in another thread that I am finally upgrading my 20 year old Rotel processor (works great but no HDMI) for a used 2016 Anthem that offers a wide variety of connection options. For video, the clear winner seems to be HDMI, but is that true for audio? I have the option for HDMI (7...

    Anthem ARC vs. Dirac Live

    Hey guys and gals, I am a total noob to Anthem. I haven't received it yet, but I just purchased an MRX 520 to replace a Rotel RSP1066 that I purchased around 01-02, prior to HDMI (still going strong FWIW). Anyway, I am using a stand-alone MiniDSP with Dirac Live with my Rotel and was wondering...

    Processor or AVR Suggestions

    My pre-pro Rotel RSP-1066 is really dated. I bought it new around 02 or 03. No HDMI at all. So, if I decided to go with a new pre-pro or AVR and I set a budget of $700. I need at least 5.1 pre-outs and 4 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI out, 4K capable. I see an Emotiva MC-700 that is in range, and a...

    MiniDSP for Music & Theater?

    This week I received my MiniDSP and UMIK-1 and have been in the process of tweeking my subs for my room. My room is a challenge since it is an open floor plan with a lot of hard surfaces. Adding to the joy is a wife who is resistant to overly large subs and room dampeners but the systems sound...

    The Last Jedi on Blue Ray

    What is the deal with the Last Jedi on blue ray, I cannot find it anywhere except on Amazon streaming. Was it not released separately from the uber all in one package? In fact, nobody has Solo either, but at least that can be viewed on Netflix. Any thoughts? If someone wants to part with a copy...

    From Plywood to coat

    Previously I posted a review of the B&K Sounds CSC-1 center channel, which I love by the way. Anyway, this speaker comes unfinished and since I was able to finally get it completed, I thought I'd share with all yall. (Double Plural?) The veneer work was done by a kind gentleman from the church...

    Home Theater Calibration

    My apologies if this should have been posted elsewhere. Preface: My Rotel Pre-Amp is older and does not have the calibration microphone and built-in software than many of the new AVR's do. So, I have almost zero knowledge on this subject. I have a SPL meter, which comes in very handy and for...

    1812 Overture

    So I have listened to this 1812 Overture a hundred times on my old Klipsch RF-7's, RC & RS 7's with my old SVS 20-39PC+ Sub and thought it sounded pretty good. I just ran it through the new Klipsch Forte 3's, in ceiling CDT 5850's, B&K Sounds CSC1 center and dual SVS SB3000's.... I thought I...

    B&K Sound CSC-1 Center Channel

    Thoughts on the Crites CSC-1 Center Channel Speaker by B&Ksound The build is solid and the pattern of the build is similar to the Klipsch RC-7, with bigger drivers and front instead of rear ports. The speaker comes unfinished without a grill, but you can purchase the grill and speaker cloth to...

    Dac Delima

    I have never owned a DAC and after doing some research, since I really like listening to the playlist I have on my iPhone, I pulled the trigger on a Schiit Modi 2 Uber. I purchase the lightning to USB 2.0 cable and finally get my system put together and... my phone says the Modi device requires...

    It all started with her wanting to move a wall.

    It all sounded good at the time. Take out a wall, move another 2'. I'm thinking the living room/HT room is going to need to produce much more pressure. So, I sell the Klipsch RF-7's, RC-7, RS-7's, and an SVS 20-39PC Plus in favor of what ended up being some Klipsch Cornwall 3's, a homemade...

    New to a Stand-Alone DAC

    I am a bit embarrassed to say that I have never had a stand-alone DAC, and never felt the need for one. With the reality of streaming music and playing music that is on my phone growing in my routine, I am beginning to see the need. Going back to the late '80s, I have always relied on the...

    TV-HDMI question/delima

    I wasn't sure where to put this and I am not sure if I am clearly explaining this but here goes. I have an older Rotel Pre-Amp from before HDMI was really a thing. So, currently, I send the HDMI from my blue ray and Tivo directly to the tv and then send the audio out of the TV's output to the...

    1989 Klipsch Forte II vs 2002 RF-7 Impressions

    So, I finally found some used Forte's as I have been considering the III's but couldn't spare the $$ and found these for $700 with Crites upgraded crossovers and tweeters. Doing a little A/B comparisons this morning and for the most part experienced what many others have. The 7's have much more...

    Sony XBR65X900F settings question

    Hey guys, I just upgraded from an older Samsung to an XBR65X900F and am impressed by the picture already. I have turned down some of the color, brightness, and various settings just to get them off of the factory max setting. I am curious if anyone has a standard-setting calibration suggestion...

    Oh MY!

    I just thought I would put a post up about a recent transition. I purchased a 525-watt SVS 20-39PC Plus in January of 2003 and since that time it has been a great sub. A recent plan to remodel our living room yielded a request to downsize the sub and since I have been out of the loop for 16...

    Initial Impressions of Klipsch CDT5800II In-Ceiling Speakers

    Initial impressions of the CDT5800 II in-ceiling speakers. For a number of years, I used the Klipsch RS-7 for my surround speakers in a traditional 5.1 set-up. My room is less than ideal for surround largely due to the fact that the room did not allow for proper placement of a surround speaker...

    SVS 20-39 PC Plus, Klipsch RF-7's

    Hey all, I am downsizing my speakers and sub to a more wife friendly room. I live in North Carolina. I bought this new and have the box. Everything works flawlessly. The Sub has a 525-watt amp and goes down to 12hz if I recall. It stands about 44" tall. Asking $400.

    Let's Talk Ceiling Speakers

    I have a pair of Klipsch CDT5800's arriving sometime today. The area above the speaker is a pretty traditional attic space with blown-in insulation and for the life of me, I cannot find anywhere that states definitively if I need to either: A: Box in the speakers B: Move the blown-in...

    Sound Sub Advise please

    New to this forum (first post) and have been researching subs. Heres the layout. Room is roughly 17x20 with standard 8' ceilings. Upgrading to Rotel next month. Using Klipsch RF-7 front and RC-7 center. Boston CR-7 suround. I am currently using an old Klipsch SW-8 sub. I will use my system...
