Best receiver to replace seperates with? (1 Viewer)

[Andrew_Ballew]

I am in the midst of a financial pitfall, so I must unfortunately "downgrade" my home theater, so to speak.

I currently am running a Rotel RSP-1066 mated with a Carver 806x amp. I want to know this-

are there any receivers out there that will provide comparable sound quality and impact? I am trying to stay under $1500, and will buy used if I must to stay under that level.

Thank you for your input!

Andrew,sorry to hear that.

I would look at the Denon 4802. You should be able to pick one up online around that price.

Good Luck

Are you going to be selling the Rotel?

Are you going to be selling the Rotel?

Likely- if I determine that that I can downgrade to something I will still be satisfied with, as well as recoup enough money to make a difference- yes. I will keep everyone posted as I am sure there will be many takers on the 1066. If I do sell it, I will let you know first.

Onkyo 898
Sony da5es
Marantz 8200 not sure on the price, if it's too high then the 7200

I believe that Rotel has a reciever that may suit you if you like the Rotel sound.

IIRC, the new RSX-1055 will be out soon. It may fit the bill for you, as its rumored price looks pretty nice. The manual is now available for downloading off Rotel's site:

Hello Andrew,
I have done the same thing going back to a receiver from an Acurus Act-III, Adcom, Aragon amp set up.

I have never used Rotel equipment but I am very happy with the Yamaha RX-V1000 I picked up on ubid. The trade off is less power but adequate for sane listening and a little less clarity. What I did get is many more features and better imaging on 2 channel BAM! the sweet is really wide and better than the separates ever threw up. I replaced a little over $3000.00 of equipment with a receiver that cost around $430.00 all the way to the bank. Something to think about, others will probably be able to suggest better deals.
See Ya!
