Rotel RB-1590

Rugged, reliable power

The monolithic Rotel RB-1590 looks very reassuring and solid, because it is. It’s 84 lbs. of solid, in fact. This amp provides 350 watts per channel, and it’s 4-ohm stable, so it’s compatible with a wide array of speakers. All that power comes from not one, but two of Rotel’s custom-designed toroidal transformers, regulated by high-quality, British-made capacitors. It delivers plenty of power to “get loud,” and offers exquisite control over the stop/start motion of speaker drivers, for dynamic realism and accuracy.

Rotel engineered this amplifier to deliver nuanced sound in a stereo music system, but you can also use it to drive one pair of speakers in a multi-channel home theater system. There are balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs on the rear panel, plus two pairs of 5-way speaker binding posts.
