Weakness:
not for power hungry speakers I just compared to Adcom GFA 555II and the Rotel blew it away as far as sound quality. This is a great sounding amp. I use it for mains and center in bridged mode. For the price it can't be beat. Check out my review of Adcom GFA 555II to see how I compared the two. This amp is half the price of the Adcom, what a great deal. Similar Products Used: Adcom |

Strength:
Very versatile, you can hook a complete AV system for a small to medium room, or you can use it to power various zones or rooms in you house. I use to power two stereo systems in different rooms for my sons (teen agers)with very good results and sound quality, so they can develop good sense of hifi sound.
Weakness:
None if you use it for the intended purpose, not big rooms and speakers. This product is excellent, very good sound for the price. |

Another product for the cash conscious listener, this rotel offers an unusual amount of musical peformance at a bargain price. This amplifier has won a spot in my dedicated music system outperforming a top flight Sony ES reciever to drive a pair of 5.2 Klispch monitors. I had intended it to be used in my theatre downstairs, but never found a reason to remove it from the musical system due to its ability to tame the top end and keep the bass under absolute control at any reasonable level. I recommend using it in a bridged mode for a dual zone system. |

I decided to purchase this amp to replace my creek 4140 which did'nt have the power to inspire my goodmans maxim spkrs not to say it was not capable, it was, it had a beautiful ability to dispaly it highs and lows in what can only be described as holographic integrity, but lacked just a little bit of umph!! |

This is an excellent amp for the dollar. I got a demo model for $250, including mid-fi (but quality) interconnects. It is a six channel amp, but can be bridged to 3 90 watt mono outputs. I use it in the latter arrangement to power my surround and center speakers. The sound is rich, and this amp shines in midrange performance. This makes it ideal for vocal - lovers and surround purposes. Again, quality per dollar - sonic, build and power - is very high. I rate the sound quality as almost equal to my other rotel amp, the 985bx. Bass isn't quite as tight, I think. |
