Rotel RA-02 or Audio Refinement Complete ?

Anyone have any ideas? I really need help. The difference in price is Rotel + $150 = AF complete

Any ideas are being greatly appreciated !

thanks

It's only rated at 40w into 8 ohms, but one review measured 90w at clipping, so it's got quite a bit of headroom. I don't know the other one, but I see nothing in its specs that would particularly recommend it over the Rotel.

The usual marketing hype aside, nobody's done anything truly "new" in solid state amplifier design in a long, long time. But my earlier advice stands. The Rotel, plus $150 in new CDs, will give you more enjoyment in the long run.
