from Private Summary: A fantastic piece of gear for the price. What matters to me more than anything is sound quality and this one offers more than anything I've ever heard in this price range. Even the NAD's (T752, T762) I've heard in the same price range had to give in. NAD's are always less plastic sounding and more real sounding than many of the japanese brands, Onkyo, Denon, Pioneer, Yamaha etc.
This ones gives life, transparency, dimensionality to almost any speaker as long as you give it proper cables and a source, a good CD or DVD player. It does wonders with classical, jazz and soft pop which is what I listened to most so far. But being a producer of electronic music I look forward to drive the JM Lab speakers properly on harsh sounding material, so far the Rotel did not scare me. It realistically reproduces sounds as it should, not colouring any aspects of it. I love it!
In 5ch mode for video it's excellent as well, the sound is sharp and good but not TOO sharp in treble and mid range. I think it sounds very very soft, yet still natural like the best NAD's. Strengths: Amazing build quality.
Sounds fantastic.
Looks fantastic. Weaknesses: I have not found any yet. But I'm a bit dubious to the remote reading the other reviews, albeit I use it mostly to adjust the volume and shift from 2 channel (audio) to 5 (video). Any remote can do that. Similar Products Used: NAD T752, NAD T762
