Decisions, decisions...
Okay, I will admit that I was quickly tempted by 6ave's Denon 3803 deal on-line, but after having had a chance to go to some of my loacl shops for some listening sessions, I've now been introduced to Rotel. I'm still thinking of a receiver to start, so I have a choice of going with the late RSX-972, or last year's RSX-1055. Of course, I also know about the new 2004 models, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to wait that long.
Anyway, comments, recommendations? Are Rotel components a nice fit with Axiom speakers? Will I be missing out on anything crucial if I pick the 972 instead of the 1055? Should I forget about these 75w models and head straight for the 100w 1065? I have to admit the price on the 972 is really tempting, but it is a discontinued model and I might also be able to work out a deal on one of the newer ones if the added features are worth the extra cost.
Thoughts?
