| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers B&W was recently sold to a Silicon Valley startup, Eva Automation, and the company has undergone some big changes this year. Classe was shut down and Eva fired long-time B&W President John Henderson which, as rumor has it, ticked off a lot... | |
| Help my Rotel RCD 1072 make music I compared the 1072 to the Cambridge 640c many years ago and the Cambridge player easily bested the Rotel. Cambridge was more natural sounding, the Rotel more clinical and antiseptic. They make fine amps, but their CD players have always been thei... | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? Initforthemusic, what did you find negative about Rotel preamps? I've read for years to avoid their Pre's. But I have never found out a reason why.Is it sonics? Poor reliability? | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? To my ears, Rotel has both good and bad traits:THE GOOD:-Very good build quality and attractive looking faceplates-Crystal clear and sometimes "glass-like" clarity-Hyped up detail-Soundstage is very forward, like you're in the front rowTHE BAD:-Vo... | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? Someone once said, "Rotel designs their products from the outside in." | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES or NAD M51? Hey Rmata, is the Sony warm sounding? How's the high frequency performance? | |
| Sony ES vs Rotel Rotel has always been a Japanese brand. In fact it is still family-owned with headquarters based in Tokyo. They do share the same distributor as B&W Speakers and are usually partnered with B&W at dealers and various shows. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES or NAD M51? How is the DSD Remastering Engine on the HAP-Z1ES? | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Layman has critiqued the B&W sound quite intensively within the last decade or so. | |
| Rotel RCD-1520 or 1072? HDCD playback feature is a cool bonus (the new 1520 does not have HDCD.)Are there any newer CD players on the market that still decode HDCD's or are they a thing of the past? | |
| Any love for Neko Audio D100 on here? It's really good. Sometimes I miss the punch that other artificially-colored digital players provide but I really appreciate its ability to render correct and natural tone. It's a passive output design so remember to keep its IC cable lengths as s... | |
| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? Br3098, you say "monitors work VERY well in small rooms." What's your view on rear-ported vs front-ported monitors for such a type of room? I'd imagine the front-ported monitor would work much better since you can place it right up against the bac... | |
| Rotel RCD-1072 vs Sony XA5400ES Jafant, I'll include the Michi RHCD-10 (early 90s) into that list as well. | |
| Rotel RDG-1520 Just curious as I'm interested in this product, too. | |
| Help me replace my Rotel 1072 It's a bit over your budget, but at $1k the Rotel RCD-1520 is the logical choice. But in the meantime, enjoy your giant killer! |
