Rotel's powerhouse combo featuring the RC-1590 MKII Preamplifier and RB-1590 Power Amplifier receives a fantastic review courtesy of Jim Milton from Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity (HomeTheaterHifi.com). The RC-1590 was also the winner of the Secrets 'Thumbs Up' Award in 2021.
"...I can say that these two working in tandem are stunning with effortless sound and a wide, deep soundstage. If your current speakers have good imaging, this combo will bump your listening up a few notches!"
"The Rotel combo was everything I expected and was impressed (for the hundredth time) by the naturalness and dynamics of this recording. Strings shimmered, the brass had that distinctive “blat” ringing and the double basses growled."
"The amp is a beast while the preamp delivered some of the sweetest stereo listening I’ve heard in some time."
"...the MKII is well designed and sounds fantastic. I am a big proponent of surround music, but the Rotel RC-1590 MKII and RB-1590 combo could easily seduce me back to the world of two-channel music again."
