OP why spend several hundred $ on a used Rotel or Marantz when you can get a Quad Vena,Cambridge Audio Azur 841/851 or Audiolab M-One for around the same $ that will SLAY either of your two choices in every performance aspect?
These "Control Amp’s" have all the connections you need INCLUDING Phono Stage,Optical Input for TV,Analogue RCA & Coaxial Digital Inputs for CD Player & BlueTooth!!!
All will also scale up to much much much better speakers(up to about $10,000.00)when upgrade time comes which neither the Rotel or Marantz will do...
