Rotel Amp Reviews

"The RA-01 is a 40 WPC integrated amplifier...My speakers are relatively sensitive (91db) and the system plays quite loudly without any noticable distortion...I have recently purchased a Rotel RA-01 for music listening..." read more »

"I went down to KEC last Sunday with a friend, tested the RA-06 (they don't have RA-04 in their store) with a pair of Morduant Short bookshelves...I love music, good music reproduction, but I know nothing about these mid/high end systems...Do you think with the RA-04/06 I require a subwoofer as well, or a good Wharfdale 91/92 speakers will do...Or should I just buy a 5.1 system, and it would play cd/music just as well as the RA-04/06..." read more »

"Rotel’s 06 Series includes three integrated amplifiers, and the RA-05 sits between the £250 RA-04 (essentially the same spec, but without remote control) and the £500 RA-06...Underneath lies plenty of jiggery-pokery of which Rotel is justifiably proud...It would appear the absence of remote-control-enabling electronics – remember, of course, remote control needs built-in help to operate the commands – creates a purer sound..." read more »

"With just over US$300 of extra cash to spend, I bought myself this RA-932 with a pair of Aegis One...I thought my previous system of a HK amp and Tannoy M3 was good enough, but not until I got myself these...Anyway, I would recommend this amp for anyone who is looking for a simple 2 channel amp with a remote and has $350 to spend on it..." read more »

"Ability to drive difficult loads, very good at ambience retrieval, soundstaging and subtlety...Full dynamics at low sound levels Nothing I have allways wanted to own this very Rotel since it was at the fore front of What hifi recommended amps in 1997...100% recommended!! Tight Bass, Crisp Treble None (bang for buck its very good) Well, Ive had this beast for about 4 1/2 years now..." read more »

"My current hifi setup is Rotel RA-971 int.amp, Marantz CD-6001, Project Debut III turntable and B&W DM 602...I'm still hoping that this will change with longer working hours of the speakers , but somehow I do not have high hopes..." read more »
