Rotel has better options for speakers like tone controls for all surrounds, better bass mgmt aswell. I went with Rotel over NAD as it had more adjustments, as far as sonics neither is worlds away from the other so it boils down to features and even looks.
NAD T775 vs Rotel RSX-1560
I'm considering the purchase of a NAD T775 receiver. I have listened to many receivers and have narrowed my choices down to the NAD T775 and the Rotel SX-1560. I listen to more music than movies, but it's close 60/40 split. My music taste is everything from Bach to Rock, but mostly classic rock, and blues. I listen to a lot of SACD material. I have listened to both receivers, and I am leaning towards the NAD because it just sounds so 3 dimensional with music. Any advice will be appreciated. I will be connecting it to the following equipment (don't laugh at my speakers too much - I just love the sound of the Def Tech's):
- Definitive Technology BP7004 main speakers (each has internal powered sub)
- Definitive Technology C/L/R 2300 (center with internal powered sub)
- Definitive Technology BP2X rears
- Paradigm powered sub
- Pioneer Elite DV-47Ai DVD, SACD, DVD Audio Player
- Panasonic DMP-BD55 Blue Ray
- Furman Elite-15i Linear Filtering AC Power Conditioner
