ROTEL VS YAMAHA RXV1500

chadnliz,

A few questions:

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?

thanks,,

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.

VMAN71,

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.

Vman71,

Any suggestions on amps...I basically had a chance to audition the adcom at home and got a great deal on the Gon...
