Rotel's 1066 has bass management problems with it's 5.1 analog inputs for SACD and DVD-A if they are important to you.
It performs an automatic low-pass bass re-direct to the sub that cannot be turned off, even when the main speakers are set to Large. This gives you a "double bass" defect that Rotel has not corrected in the current design.

  Rotel will take your unit (you pay half shipping) and actually cut out (remove) a couple of resistors in the current production unit.
  Rotel still has not corrected the original design flaw in any of the currently manufactured processors a full year after it was discovered.
