I have seen alot of positive reviews on Rotel...I have seen the 1066 here on the gon and wonder if there would be any substantial sonic improvements over my present yamaha(using as a pre/pro w adcom 7600...Any input would be appreciated..
I own a Rotel 1068, it works great and has the adjustments to really dial it in...I think its a winner. I would assume that the Rotel may better the Yamaha but I hope you are able to audition for yourself.
I am using yamaha preouts into an Adcom 7607. Was a huge difference over just using the Yamaha. Would probably do same and or experiment to see what sounds better. Any insight?
What type of crossover settings does the 1068 have?
With your size room and sensitivity of your speakers, I think that you'd benefit more from getting an amp with a lot more power. I think your Adcom is 125watts? Try something out with at least 300watts, 400watts would be much better. The Yamaha will be fine as a pre.
Its funny you say that because that was my initial plan. But, my local audio guy is telling me I would get more improvement by replacing the Yamaha. The supposed sensitivity of the Def tech lcr's are 92db. Is the power reserve of a larger amp going to make a difference...
I'm sure that others will chime in but I think that Yamaha will do an excellent job with processing. I think you'll hear a nice difference by changing out that Adcom amp. A couple of reasons, better quality amplification (I'm not really an Adcom fan) and combining that with the proper amount of power (with reserve headroom), will yield an improvement.
