If you want bang for the buck, Outlaw Audio amplifiers, but I would probably still get the Rotel 1066, or look at a sunfire amplifier 5x200 used ~$1000... Don't get a Receiver, it might be rated for more power, but you can't put all that stuff in a single chassis and make it sound good or give you 4ohm power.
Affordable separate vs. high end receiver – which
Just wondering which system would produce the better results:
An affordable separate system like Rotel 1066 + RMB 1075 (120 watts) – approx $2500 (what other brands/models would fall under this price range for separates?)
Or a high end receiver like Sunfire Ultimate Receiver, Denon 5803, Yamaha RX-Z or Pinoeer Elite – approx $2,000+
Speakers driven will be Paradigm 60 or 100 with complementary studio speakers for a 5.1 or 6.1 set-up.
I just thought that the high end receivers would cost the same as the Rotel separates but will give me more power. Any thoughts from you audiophile gurus?
