Reviewer Jeff Dorgay from Tone Audio sits down with Rotel's RA-1592 MKII, the flagship model within Rotel's standard Integrated Amplifier range, calling it an 'excellent musical partner".
"It’s overall tonal balance is fairly natural/neutral, and all that power makes for plenty of dynamic punch."
"What makes the Rotel 1592 MKII the recipient of one of our Exceptional Value Awards for 2021 is its high level of overall competence. Even buying gently used pre owned components, it’s doubtful that you could come up with a fully functioning preamplifier, DAC, headphone amplifier, MM phonostage and a 200 watt per channel power amplifier of this quality for anywhere near the cost of the 1592 – that’s it’s beauty."
"For many, the mix of components is the thrill in assembling a music system, however if you happen to be a serious music lover that doesn’t want to go through the myriad of choices (and potential non synergistic ones), call it a day with the Rotel. You won’t regret it."
