| Power Amp Recommendations for B&W 803 Nautilus @lmadari The Rotel RB-1590 is a great amp and bang for your buck (relatively).;-) It would be fantastic with your B&W It was a crapload of money for me but I love mine. It works great with my B&Ws. A used one would be in your budget an... | |
| Tube Preamp for Pass XA25 under $3,000 +1 @hilde45, The deHavilland Ultraverve is excellent. Cheers, Scott | |
| Need separates for MA Gold 100. Alternatives to Parasound P6/A21+, please! You’re welcome. Oh yeah, the RB-1582 MKll would do a great job as well with MA Gold 100s. Combining it with the RC-1590 MKll would be an excellent setup. Both the Rotel and the Parasound would have no problem with the MAs. They both have excellen... | |
| Need separates for MA Gold 100. Alternatives to Parasound P6/A21+, please! The P6/A21+ combination is an excellent combination. I enjoyed auditioning them. Can’t go wrong with Parasound. You might want to also look into the RC-1590/RB-1590 pairing from Rotel. When I was looking to upgrade like yourself it was down to... | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle @hilde45 Oh man, I get it. I got one in college and a senior in high school. That’s why I can only suggest that people get a Michi P5 for their system and there isn’t one in mine.🙂 I have the Schiit Freya S in my system and it is very good. You... | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle With a $4k budget (even with a higher budget) I’d go with the Michi P5 by Rotel. It’s been getting great reviews. Btw, I had the deHavilland UltraVerve, what a great pre. Really wish I still had it. Good luck with your search. Cheers, Scott ht... | |
| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION The Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3 would go great with your Hegel. Cheers, Scott | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Lots of good suggestions. If you get a chance check out the Bowers and Wilkins 802 D4 or 801 D4 (just a bit over budget). Good luck in your search. Cheers, Scott | |
| Amp(s) to drive B&W 803 D3 speakers I bet the Michi M8 would be excellent with the B&W 803 D3. https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/videos/106-uncategorized/990-rotel-michi-m8-mono-amplifiers Cheers, Scott | |
| Spectron Musician III MK2... what's next? Wow, the power supply in that amp is magnificent. I bet your Sepctrons did sound excellent. If you decide not to rebuild from the Spectron parts and go with Class-D you might want to consider those with well built linear power supplies like that i... | |
| New to hobby: McIntosh D150 w/ McIntosh Amp vs. Rotel Separates Disclaimer, big Rotel fan here. I use the RB1590. The RB1582MKII would work great with your RC1572MKII and the CM9 S2 speaker, which is fantastic. Rotel makes some of the best affordable pre/amps available with excellent power supplies and build.... | |

| Underpowered? @dridel You have fantastic speakers in the 702 Sigs. Yes, they need more power. I never heard everything my 683 S2s could do until I got a Rotel RB-1590 350 watt amplifier with a huge power supply to drive them. In a small room with a lot of b... | |
| Integrated upgrade recomendations The Rotel RA-1572MKll would be an excellent option. https://www.rotel.com/product/ra-1572mkii Cheers, Scott | |
| What to do? I want a new amplifier to make my Dynaudio Contours to "sing" Great story, @tartara66. Congratulations on the new stereo. You should check out the Rotel RB-1582 MKII. It would make those Dyns come alive and sound great. Good luck with your search. https://www.rotel.com/product/rb-1582-mkii Cheers, Scott |
