Rotel rsx 1550 or Onkyo 906


Please give some opinions if you own the new Rotel 1550 or 1560 receiver. Room equalization is not a big deal to me. My room is small 14x16 with no furnitures except my little recliner. Thank you in advance.

I was looking online about the 1560 and it looks quite nice. I am also looking into buying a new receiver as well. I would be very interested to hear if anyone in Audiogon have experienced in either the 1560 or the Onkyo 906. The Onkyo 905 seems to have a lot more power rating and much heavier. The Onkyo 906 seems to have more features than I have ever seen!! Did you see all the badges in front of the Onkyo 906?! I would not be surprise if the 906 makes coffee for you every morning. ha ha ha
I've got a 906 and I love it! Had a pioneer 94txh before and a lexicon/proceed setup before that and the 906 is better than both. It was a very big step up in the audio and it was jaw dropping the diff it made on video scaling. Don't know much about the rotel but I highly recomend the onkyo.
I moved from a Anthem avm30 bryston 9bsst combo down to this little receiver. I am shocked! I cant believe how good flagship receivers have gotten. I loved my Anthem/Bryston combo, but Im not missing much. Throw in all the latest formats and I think I'll just stick with Hi end receivers from now on. Blown away.

The 2 channel presentation is a little more in your face, but not at all harsh. A front row perspective. Sacd sounds fantastic. MOvies are top knotch. Blown away, I never would have guessed a onkyo could make such fantastic music.

This budget gear is really starting to amaze me. Gone are the days of spending thousands of dollars on anything besides speakers for me.
