Rotel RA-10 Amplifier

The formula of the budget Rotel amplifier remains unaltered. The component situated in a thin case can boast the great outfit (headphone output, MM phono amplifier and two sets of outputs for acoustic systems). However, it has one disadvantage.

As well as its forerunner (the RA-04 SE) the RA-10 is not provided with the remote control even at extra charge. We should get up from the comfortable armchair to control it. But we do not mind because this amplifier is really good.

It can be said that the sound quality of the RA-10 is classic as for the Rotel. The capacity is 40 WPC - it is quite at the level, but the dynamic power and control is much higher than the average. The amazing and exciting sound is perfectly suited for the Blueprint 3 Jay-Z. The powerful attack and unshakable supremacy over the rhythms belongs with the exceptionally pleasant midrange capable of reproducing the voice emotionality.

The RA-10 does not have such perfect high frequencies as the previous Award - Marantz PM6004; nevertheless they are quite nice, and their sharpness is well-monitored.

The rivalry is extremely high in this market segment; the Rotel will have to deal with the famous and high quality rivals. However, we believe that its position is very strong; the clever design allows creating amazingly elaborated and exciting sound.
