Rotel RA-1592 MkII vs RA-6000


I'm being offered a brand new RA-6000 costing only CAD900 more than a RA-1592 MkII. Looks like both integrated amps have very similar specs. How much better is the RA-6000? Worth paying more dollars for the it?

It looks like the circuits have a lot in common, with some apparent parts upgrades on the 6000.  What’s in the rest of the system?

 

 

Rotel is ok, but I think Hegel makes better integrateds.  Here’s a used H190 he’s asking $3200 CAD for, but that’s a bit rich IMHO and the last couple that sold went for $2800, which seems much more fair so should be some bargaining room there (and is probably why it’s been on the market for a bit).  In any event, buying a used H190 will save you some $$$ and will likely be a better sounding amp. Just another option FWIW, and best of luck.
