I once owned the Krell KAV300i integrated (However, I only used the 150 watt amp portion of the unit -- bypassing the preamp section via the throughput) and it needed service. My dealer loaned me a rotel amp. I was very impressed at the sound, the punch and the overall performance for the money. I still thought the Krell was my preference, but since then I have helped many people get into audiophile sound recommending the Rotel amps.
Your thoughts on Rotel Amps
Hi,
I own a Rotel RB-1080 (200 wpc) and I think it sounds great. In many ways, I think it compares favorably with many of the "name brand" amps (i.e., Krell, Levinson, etc.), at least to my ears. I certainly don't see many Rotels for sale in the classifieds. Perhaps it's because they're "keepers." Anyway, I was wondering what the rest of the crew thought of Rotel amps.
