Rotel A10 integrated Amplifier

This amplifier has been around for decades in one form or another, and like James Bond's favourite pocket accesory it is deeply functional, effective, well finished, long lasting, and hits the target for musicality vs price.

The Rotel is a surprise when you pick it up ... ordinary amplifiers at this price break feel slightly flexible, there is give in their casing and their whole physicality is hollow and ringy ... the A10 on the other hand is like a good handgun, there is no give in the chassis, the finish is deep and scratchproof, the controls operate with exceptional smoothness, the facilities on it are purely to the point of making music as part of a good stereo system for reasonable money.

The contrast of build quality, internal and external, of this amp and others of the same price range is like comparing a water pistol to a PPK ...

Specifications:
