Rotel RX-1203 Receiver

[Socal Sam]

This is the last of my three Rotel RX-1203's. Yes, those are HPM-100's.

Whatever happened to the other two?

Sold them. This one is probably going too. I'm still a Rotel fan, my RX-1603 is a keeper.

Ah...don't know where to start with this one. I will say they are good fun speakers, at least until the brightness starts to hurt.

Thought I'd post a shot of mine. Great looking machines.

Those Rotel's are goood looking. Though I've not known anyone in KC with any.

Also...a friend of mine has those HPM-100's and did this crossover work on them:

An electric screwdriver helps in removing hold down screws

You access the crossover from the back (it’s where the. wire connects –screw out the entire unit) Once partially out, write down how the wires are connected.. Make sure you memorize how everything is mounted. ( hey! Take a picture beforehand with a digital camera). You’ll need to de-solder two sets of wires, the others pull off. After removing the entire crossover try to remove ( or cut) the binding contact glue that PIONEER used to anchor the original capacitors to the circuit board, then de-solder off originals and re-solder replacements.

I would also suggest that you reheat ALL solder joints, before putting crossover back into speaker cabinets. Degree of difficulty? 5 if you’ve got even the most basic of techno-geek skills, 7 if you think rosin is the name of a girl. OK…, that’s a techie joke.. LOOK IT UP ON GOOGLE!.
