In Reply to: Anyone else here love Pro Logic II? posted by rico on February 16, 2005 at 12:38:10:
I have a SGHT review of a Rotel RSP-1066 in which the writer loves it. Figures it alone is easily worth the $300 hike from the RSP-976. Pretty much said exactly as you.
Follow Ups:
I was a dedicted two channel guy and still thnik that the original Pro Logic is very amusical. But after reading a a Stereophile interview/article on surround sound guru Jim Fosgate, the PL II inventor, I started experimenting. There are actually two PL II codecs, one for movies and one for music but I prefer the music version in all cases.Incidently, Fosgate's original design used tubes. Now that's something I would love to hear.
I just got my son a Harmon Kardon 235, for a quarter of the price of my Rotel 1055 receiver (which is similar to the 1066 preamp). The HK has Pro Logic IIx, which takes the side channel info and matrixes it to goes to additional rears in a 7.1 setup. What's really cool is it can be set up to be added to a Dolby Digital playback (DD for L/C/R and sides, PLIIx for back rears).But after setting up his 7.1 system, I'm not sure if the additional 2 rear speakers were worth the effort. His sides are direct radiating, which pretty much overwhelm the rear soundfield. I guess it depends on the room/speakers.
