For the entry-level Rotel customer, the company has a pair of affordable products designed in collaboration with the late Ken Ishiwata of Marantz. The A11 Tribute integrated amplifier ($799) and CD11 Tribute CD player ($599) are based on existing Rotel designs, with upgrades and tweaks selected by Ishiwata shortly before his death in November of 2019.

The 50 x 2 fits in with hobbyists. Rotel hasn't put out much over the last few years not that I can recollect.

With that said, the Tribute line is a super value in my opinion. Reactions: Gmoney
