Rotel and B&W collaborate with each other and have for years. I'm using a Michi S5 to push my Magnapan 3.7is and they pair together extremely well.
Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000?
So I just purchased a pair of B&W CDM-9NT and am now going deep down the rabbit hole trying to find an amp that’s going to let these speakers sing to their fullest. I keep coming back to Rotel as the consensus appears to be that these amps pair very well with B&Ws. I was trying to keep the budget to $1000...then $1500...now I’m looking at $3000 options...I’m not willing to go up to the McIntosh prices at the moment so I’m capping myself at $3k new or used.
I was thinking that going integrated was the best option when looking at the $1500ish options. Now maybe separates would make sense at $3000?
Goals in sound are excellent imaging and separation. Strong and tight bass is a must. Music selection is mainly very bass forward genres like hip hop & EDM. I also enjoy jazz, rock and sometimes classical as the mood strikes. A must have is digital connectivity for hi-res streaming. The room is 14x18 if that matters.
Any help is appreciated.

Michi is Rotel’s high end brand. If I had the cash I would have went with the M8 monoblocks but alas I too am building a new home. Https://Rotel.com/michi |
