This Rotel is an amazing amp when you consider what it weighs - 12 pounds! For that 12 pounds you get a 5 channel 100/200wpc (8/4ohms) amp that has excellent dynamics and sound quality. I can honestly say I hear no differences between this and the UPA-7 I had for 3 years - or either of the XPA-5's I also had. I think I'm going to 2 channel audio - at least for now. To that end I recently bought an XSP-1 gen 2 pre and an older gem of an amp - the Onkyo Integra M-504.
Amps condition can be seen in the pics. Note that the 'handles' or whatever Rotel calls them has a bit of discoloration on them. You could use some flat black paint to redo them - I've left them as I bought it. That discoloration doesn't bother me - and of course won't affect sound in any case.
I'm asking $500 shipped to *CONUS addresses* - PM me for a shipping quote to other locations. I'll be placing this on ebay in a week or less. As always offers are welcome - trades? Lets see what you have. I could use a Sherbourn PA 2-50.
