Rotel A12 Amplifier
The middle brother in the Rotel family group breaks with the construction of the smaller A10. The Rotel A12 is more voluminous. Actually identical to the large A14. The art grip is made possible by the display, which allows all sorts of fine adjustments. Here you can specify details such as bass, treble...

Rotel A14 Amplifier
Small in size but heavy A14 amplifier is identified externally exactly as Rotel. Outwardly the branded style is maintained well and this is traditional, classical amplifier. The power button is on the left, headphones input and the switch to select speaker systems are at the same place. The display and...

Rotel RA-01 Amplifier
In principle, RA-01 can be the example of uncompromising solution of a substantive engineering problem: how can an amplifier be cheaper without decreasing its sound qualities?We said "in principle" for a reason. You can completely judge how competently the engineers got out of this delicate situation...

Rotel RA-02 Amplifier
Rotel Company remains committed to the production of high-quality two-channel equipment, which cannot but rejoice. It would seem that such a large company should follow the general trends that imply a clear choice in favor of the home theater and stereo amplifiers out of production, however, seems to...

Rotel RA-03 Amplifier
The amplifier is analog, the main nodes are assembled according to the classical scheme on discrete elements. Judging by the marking, the resistors are low-noise; the capacitors are film, there are separate ground spikes for signal and power circuits. Bipolar transistors are used in the output stages....

Rotel RA-04 SE Amplifier
Tokyo based manufacturer Rotel was founded by the Tachikawa family in 1961, and over the last fifty years have built a reputation for making audio equipment which seems to offer just a little bit more than most of the competition. Although most manufacturing now takes place in a company owned facility...

Rotel RA-05 SE Amplifier
The amplifier is assembled in a slim-case with a height of 7 centimeters. On the front panel, in addition to the mandatory attributes - volume knobs and input selector, there are treble / bass and balance controls, as well as a Tape / Source recording switch. There is a bypass of the tone block and load...

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...

Rotel RA-1060 Amplifier
All-around development of multi-channels expects stereo amplifiers to enter the "red book". But is the possibility of pure stereo death so high? At progressive sales growth of multi-channel equipment the need for stereo gradually decreases. Surely, many of us consistently prefer, for example, universal...

Rotel RA-12 Amplifier
As well as the Audiolab 8200A, the Rotel RA-12 amplifier has a tough time: the previous model of this lineup - the RA-10 - got the Award and the Rotel RA-12 has to fall into line. There are quite telling characteristics in the list: the RA-12 has the increased capacity (60 W while the RA-10 features...

Rotel RA-931 Amplifier
Should the amplifier attract the attention with its appearance? Well, of course, it has no right to be an "ugly duckling" in the home audio complex, but, probably, it should not stand out much in order not to distract from the main thing - the music. If the guys who created the Rotel RA-931 were reasoning...

Rotel RA-935BX Amplifier
The Rotel strategy in marketing value-for-money hi-fi separates in the UK has been very successful. Basically the units are built in the Far East, where costs can be kept down, but details of the designs and the choice of 'audiophile' components are worked out in this country. The RA935BX integrated...

Rotel RA-940BX Amplifier
For nigh-on a decade, Rotel had kept its 800 Series amplifiers ticking over with steady but often rather subtle improvements. But now, with the introduction of the 900 Series, we are at last witnessing fundamental changes to their topology and technical performance. From the outside then, the RA-940BX...

Rotel RA-945 Amplifier
According to the test, RA-945 gives a lot of "pros" to the main company's concept, defined as "balanced design". At the same time everything, which is added to the scheme, leads to obvious improvement of sound, and in key places of the scheme the elements with multiple reserve are used. RA-945 looks...

Rotel RB-1091 Amplifier
True or false: The more you spend on an audio system, the better it will sound? I found myself pondering this question after a recent visit to the West Coast where I heard three stellar (and costly) systems in rapid succession. The first featured the Brinkmann Balance turntable and DALI Megaline loudspeaker;...

Rotel RB-1092 Amplifier
The past few years have seen a quiet revolution in stereo amplifier design, as we've witnessed a migration from one way of designing power amplifiers to another. The move from Class AB to Class D operation is significant for a number of reasons - arguably almost on a par with the move from tube to transistor...

Rotel RB-1552 Amplifier
When we talk about the premium systems, we usually mean a set of independent components. The separate amplifier and source may also be divided into two parts. In fact, the single-block amplifiers are called integral not for nothing - each of them has two hidden independent devices: the preamplifier with...
