yesterday i went to my local audio to check on rotel RSX-1067 and arcam 300
but i walked out the store with used B&K Reference 50 S2 and amp Reference 7250 for $2 k.

after hook up i feel so happy that i go with seperate B&K rather than with a receiver.
it sounds so good that even my wife happy with my purchase

it is way sound better than h/k 7300 which i return after 1 week.

    Congrats! and great price indeed. Here is an old thread of comparison between Rotel and B&K. You made the right decision, just in case you are wondering the "What If" with the Rotel:

    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Don't skimp since you went B&K. Look into real subs to round out the bottom end. SVS or HSU come to mind.
