Hi,
I wanted to ask if anyone has listened to the Rotel top amplifiers: the RA-1592 and RA-1572.
Between the two there is a difference of about 400 pounds and 80 watts of power, but it is not clear to me at the qualitative level (detail, timbre, soundstage) what changes.
At the moment I have an old Arcam FMJ A32 (2002 model) of "only" 100 Watts per channel, but for my needs it sounds very strong and has much more power then what I need.
From a qualitative point of view of my Arcam A32 it sounds good for me, detailed and it is balanced but now after 10 years of use I think it's time to change it to something better.
Following some forums, they say that the declared power of the Rotels is too optimistic and the 120 Watt-channel declared of the RA-1572 are really much less.
What Hifi is just 3 stars at the Rotel RA-1572.
I would like to understand if it is a good choice upgrage my Arcam FMJ A32 with the new Rotel RA-1572 or not.
Thank you all
