So added the rotel to my setup which includes klipsch rf82 mkii 5.1 setup.
Was hoping for some nicer, louder sound.
Very disappointed. i have 4 channels on the rotel powering the mains, and one channel for the centre. Onkyo powers the rear surrounds.
Movies are fine - I wouldn't say its any better than the onkyo on its own which surprised me. I would have thought of a big increase in overall volume.
The 2 or 2.1 channel by far is the worst. The onkyo is only sending signals to either the highs or lows on the mains. On the pre out setup on the onkyo for the mains i have tried front wide, front high etc, doesn't seems to allow me to set for both.
When bi-amping from the onkyo the mains are connected to front and front surround. I have connected the corresponding pre outs to the rotel but can only get full sound from the fronts when I select all channel stereo or another full channel dsp setting.
Anyone using the onkyo for pre duties and have better luck?
