HI...AM LOOKING FOR A ROTEL RX 1050 OR 1052...THX.
I just dead-ended like you but what about the 1056/1057? eBay has one of each in the US and I can't read German or Polish to tell you if 970 euros is even a deal on another site's links.
as long as they are rx(receiver)its fine....and 970 euros is like 1000$....mad crazy...a mint one rx1050 goes for 200 on ebay...i ll wait....no rush at all.....found one mint like new on audiogon....but he wants 425 shipped...not worth so much...they are not as smooth as the marantz setup I have now.....but rotels bass is fantastic...a bit harsh in the uppers...
Distorted or what?
Are you sure it's not a crossover problem that is hidden by your Marantzes tone controls or lower power?
Or is it a failing tweeter/too bright?
What are you using for speakers? Have you checked your speakers out? Are they correctly rated for the output, ohms, power and all?
If your woofers are going to have problems with an amp, the tweeters will suffer first I'd bet and tweeters in bookshelf speakers are rarely rated above 40W because they need very little power to reproduce efficiently compared to woofers and midranges.
And do you really want an audio-video integrated/receiver or dedicated stereo setup with a decoder for another amp and a center/sub?
The problem may be that some people don't dig AV stuff for 'musicality', whatever that is...
My old Onkyo DR-90 had a built in CD/DVD player and Dolby 5.1/DTS and was really nice in stereo mode for CDs, records and tapes but it's biggest weakness in the end was the chip amps, and the same side blew twice.
The NIN CD I had (The Downward Spiral) was some really fun s--- on it though![]()
thanks....seen it....there is a nice RX also...but seller is a bit crazy in price...no rush...one will pop up on ebay soon..they go cheap usualy.....thx...happy thanksgiving.....A guy has a clean RA 985BX on AK w/ manual for $200. 100wpc at 8 ohms, double that at 4 ohms. Just mentioning it, I am sure it's not what your looking for
