Yamaha vs Rotel

"... Where do you guys think Cambridge amps fall..."

I've owned a 40WPC and an 80wpc Cambridge Integrated. They were just OK, nothing special. 

Yamaha will have best build (and probably parts) quality by far and will have a warmer, fuller and more robust sound.  I’d put the Cambridge and Rotel more in the “white wine” sonic category, and both have had their share of reliability problems with Cambridge probably being the worst just going by the number of people here who’ve had problems with their gear.  Personally I’d take Rotel over Cambridge generally speaking for both build quality and sonics FWIW.  Hope that helps.

Thank you. What about Denon PMA 2500NE and more expensive Technis SU-R1000 ( or maybe SU-G700) Would you say they would be both closer to Yamaha in terms of warmth and build quality. They are both made in Japan.

What did you end up with?
