Summary:
Was looking for a second rotel for my bi-amped mordaunt short 20i pearls, but got fed up searching for an identical model to the one i use for the tweeters. So I bought this, i usually by high quality but second hand, felt i should give this amp a go, after all it was only driving the mid's.

I was very impressed with the presence this amp has for the money, It confidently keeps up with the rest of the setup (technics sl-ps7, rotel ra820) It has good clarity and a strong clean power curve right to the full volume position.

Great value for money - I can't be bothered to replace it for a good reason - it doesnt need to be

Strengths:
Good power curve
good presence
value for money

Weaknesses:
finish not the same as more expensive counterparts.
Doesnt handle top end clarity as well as a higher end model

Similar Products Used:
rotel ra820, midrange sony amp.
