Re: Rotel 1066 or not

It sounds like you want to add a Rotel pre-processor to your 2 channel system (I don't know all the models). You also have other Rotel equipment & you listen to vinyl...basically you want to run the odd movie...right? Then buy the Rotel and run the front speakers via your 2 channel preamp and use the output of your processor run to the aux of the 2 channel pre. Surround is great if you watch action/adventure movies (e.g. U571), but otherwise if you watching dramas everything comes out of the centre channel (e.g. Finding Forester). In the later cases I switch to stereo, because any centre less than $1000 doesn't have the range of a stereo pair.

So buy the Rotel, the extra wire & speakers and enjoy, but make sure you don't screw up your 2 channel system!
