Anyone heard that Rotel amp that cost 2700 in 1996


Hi, in 1995 and 1996. I remember Rotel came out with a high end amp, preamp and tuner. I remember the Amp listed for 2700 dollars. I wonder if anyone ever heard or owned that Rotel amp. How did they like it.

Look on the Rotel website and see if it's listed. I think it lists U.S. products only. Rotel sells a number of products for overseas sales only.
The two most costly amps listed in the Rotel Archives are:
RB1090 380W, THX, balanced outs 1999 $1999
RMB1095 5 x 200W 1999- $1,999
There is nothing that high around 1996 unless there was an RHT amp not listed.

Yes I have heard of them and own two such units. I have the Rotel RHB-10 (200-watt version) that sold for $3500 new (picked it up back in 97 at close-out at PX when I was in Germany for $500). I also have the pre-amp RHA-10 that sold for $2500 new (also picked up at close-out sale for $350). How do they sound? Exceptional. The folks at Rotel turned their engineers loose for both of these models without any price constraints. Amp weighs 60 pounds and is a true dual-mono product with the highest quality materials/components. Both models are beautiful to look at. If you ask the folks at Rotel...they will tell you they have yet to make anything (amp/pre-amp) that sounds as good as these units even 7 years later. Interestingly enough, units did not sell that well despite outstanding reviews in Brit press. Don't even think you could get them in the States although configured for 110 or 220 watts. Guess no one wanted to spend that much on Rotel products.
