The 1066 smokes any of the Outlaw preamps.
$300 for older Rotel/Outlaw or do something else?
I'm interested in easing into the Home Theater world and I'm thinking about using an older sound processor couple with three identical dual channel (120w/ch.) amplifiers to get something 5.1 up and running.
I'm leaning toward something enry level but well rated, like a Rotel RSP-1066 or Outlaw 950, both are in the $300 or less delivered range.
Is this a reasonable move or is there a better way to spend $300 these days for the same result.
I realize I won't get HDMI audio or switching, but I can output Blu-Ray video directly to the HDTV and optical out for excellent, but not lossless, audio.
Is this a reasonable plan? Thank you!
