Rotel is a good value. You might experiment with the new all digital receivers from JVC and Panasonic (the top of the line models), in particular if you use digital out on your DVD player. Do some research for yourself first, as Markphd pointed out, your Rotel is strong at that pricepoint.
Upgrade suggestions - from Rotel 1066 receiver
I am not displeased with my Rotel receiver but I'm wondering if there is anything else out there that would be a good upgrade. I do not use the video switching capabilities, just use it for audio in my simple HT system - movies, HDTV. Please see my system for component details.
I need two optical inputs, DTS, Dolby, etc. My DVD player does have DVD-A & SACD capabilities, but I seldom use it for this. Still, the amp needs to have good audio capablities. I would like something with a bit more power per channel (the Rotel sends 75W/channel) for my 5.1 speaker set up.
I only want to spend around $1000, if possible, and used is fine. If there is nothing that beats the Rotel, I'll just stick with the Rotel!
