ROTEL RA-985BX


Hi, Im looking for an integrated amp for my brother I came upon a ROTEL RA-985BX. It is going to powering my DIY speakers which also Im giving to my brother. What are your thoughts on this model? Thanks and happy listening

no idea... sorry

no idea what your speakers are... what they need to drive them, what sound you are after

rotels are decent mid grade gear, good value, reasonably well built, sounds ok, lots of other integrateds sound better
Sorry for the misinformation jjss49. Basically something that sound good with across all frequency range. I understand there is other amp that sound better but he is more of a casual listener.
If your are giving this amp with speakers. Nice gift as long as the amp is compatible with the speakers. 
for everyday use by a not too serious listener using simple non exotic speakers needing basic amplification, the rotel will be perfectly fine
