from Access to Music, San Summary:
From 1983 to 2003 I was using an old Technics receiver that I thought, well.... sounded pretty good. It had everything I needed, including a phono pre-amp.
In late 2002, however, I began considering upgrading to a more powerful receiver or amp. I looked at the Marantz high current amp as well as the Harmon Kardon. But deep, deep down something told me to hold out for the more expensive Rotel. Boy, am I glad I did! Just like the salesman promised, I heard things come out of my little bookshelf speakers that I did not even realize were there! It simply has to be heard to be believed.
But it gets better. When you hook this receiver up to your television, chances are it will sound far better than most people’s home theater set up.
Lastly, Rotel is company that both designs their products well and stands by their customers after the purchase. In this day and age, that says a lot..
I can honestly say as of right now, it’s the single best piece of equipment I own. I use it every day, either for music or television audio.
As of right now, the conventional wisdom is that there are only five good audio receivers out there, and this is one of them. Highly recommended!
My current set consists of:
-Project Xpression Mark II turntable with Sumiko Oyster and Audioquest King Cobra cables
-Marantz Special Edition CC-65SE CD changer
-Nakamichi BX1 cassette deck
-Two way bookshelf GNP speakers on Target stands Strengths:
Clean power
Good power
Capable tuner Weaknesses:
Lack of balance controls Similar Products Used:
