Rotel reviews & products

Not the world’s worst amplifier, but this Rotel should be better.

This premium-priced Rotel CD player has poise and clarity on its side.

It's been a long time coming, but we've finally got our hands on a new Rotel home cinema amplifier

Impressive on paper, but let down by a lack of subtlety and rhythm...

There’s plenty to be impressed with this Rotel DAC, but its poor USB input holds it back

Well worth a listen, but it doesn't deliver the most captivating performance we've ever heard

The Rotel sounds good, but rivals offer more insight and better digital features

The Rotel RT-09 network music client is a stylish jack of all trades

The superb RA-04SE is just the latest in a long line of ever-improving Rotel amplifiers

This fully featured preamp is a likeable performer that gets on with the job without drawing attention to itself

This powerful, well-built unit gets on with the job without drawing attention to itself

We're already fans of Rotel's budget-conscious amps, so this souped-up 'SE' model has us salivating

With its modern appearance, the RCD-1520 looks the part – but up and running it's a dynamically restrained performer

In the RA-1520, Rotel has produced an amplifer that can enter the lion's den of competition and easily take on the best

We've met Rotel's multichannel amplifiers before, but can the '1560 garner as much praise as the '1550 before it?

There might be a few holes in the spec sheet, but this mighty Rotel certainly knows how to impress with DVD and Blu-ray soundtracks

Last year's Award-winner still has what it takes, delivering an expansive, convivial sound and a solid spec

Receives a highly respectable four-star verdict, but we had hoped for much more

Crisp, detailed sound from a solid, though not amazing, player. But when compared to newer price-rivals, this falls short

Still a great amp, but not quite as good as its younger brother, the £100 cheaper (and remote-less) RA-04
