Both the Rotel A12 and RA-1592 are full-featured stereo amps and could be a good option for anyone looking to upgrade an entry-level set-up.
The A12 boasts a traditional separates design and includes a solid selection of connectivity options including line level and digital inputs plus a moving magnet phono stage for hooking up a record player.
The RA-1592 is a beefier-looking step-up model which combines elements of the company's RC-1590 preamplifier and RB-1582 MkII power amplifier for a sound aimed at more premium hi-fi systems. It ups the ante with more premium components, such as custom capacitors and Rotel's own toroidal transformer.
Its preamp section uses a highly regarded 32-bit/768kHz AKM digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) and supports DSD up to 24-bit/192kHz over USB. There's also aptX Bluetooth, a front-mounted USB iPod input, moving magnet phono stage, plus
a balanced XLR input. You can even run two pairs of speakers off the amp, a feature that's complemented by a dual subwoofer output for extra oomph.
We haven't reviewed the A12 or RA-1592, but we have covered a fair number of Rotel amplifiers over the years and with such big savings on the table, it could be worth auditioning them if you own a suitable set-up, especially at these discounted prices.
