I’ve had the RB-1582 MKII in black paired with the RB-1572 MKII preamp for about 2 years and I’m very happy. Powering a pair of Arendal 1723 towers and they provide plenty of clean power. Can drive at relatively high volume for hours without getting hot or stressed. Highly recommend. A great combination of quality and price.

Thank you for taking time for doing this. Excellent content!

Thnak you for doing these! =) Very quickly became my favourite place to verify some data points. =)

I really like the Rotel line of audio equipment. The Michi is Beautiful and is one of the nicest being built today. Rotel offers a wonderful 2 channel sound for cheap compared to theMichi . I would love to hear them live. Thank you for your review.

I built my endgame system this year, migrated away from McIntosh to Michi/Rotel. While I love the McIntosh look, I need to use a media cabinet to keep the components away from little hands. That drove me away from McIntosh and towards something a little less flashy. I love the Michi gear, no regrets. I’m running the S5 for L/R, and the M8 for the center, and the P5 for 2ch listening. For home theater, I went with the RMB1585 for the side surrounds and Atmos rear heights. A big part of my deciding factors was aesthetics, and I just love the black combo of the Michi and Rotel gear, with the B&W 800 series. I did research the independent measurements which were all favorable, where you can find 4ohm measurements of the 1585 and other models. Can’t go wrong with these models!

Merci 🙏🏼

Interesting info on these amps. I’m thinking of getting a 1555 to power my 5 main speakers (b&w 600 s2 with matching centre) wonder what I could expect from doing this running from a marantz 5014 avr. Would like to go full separates one day with a full processor so no more avr, do u think I would benefit with one of these power amps or look else where ?

RB 1582 MKII is a true dual mono design? With separate power supplies per channel?

Hi John - hot video and very informative.

Rotel had a 5 channel class D , RMB- 1085. iCE powered ( years ago ). I still have one. They had models other ones too. Not sure why they gave up on class D so fast. I wish they would seriously look at class D again.

Why I cant find anything about these ROTEL amps? I look for RMB-1555 and I cant find any videos or reviews for these machines. It is old solid company on the first look.

Great great bill quality old school electronics all laid out properly exclusively ternal transformers with the British silk foil very expensive to do and they manufacture their own transformers in the house great value for the back clean neutral sound and a five year warranty and they’ve been in business over 60 years take a look at one and you’ll see what I’m saying great bill quality great sound great value for your buck my opinion and of course this is a hobby you may think differently that’s OK to

It’s a fifth foot in the center!

It's 5. feel I have the 1586 rmb

Also, I think the 1585 and the 1590 are the same price at $3800…

Rotel Michi's are quite a bit better ... and pricier also 😂

I am on audio Fidelity Mike Levinson PS audio which I have a couple pieces of theirs now and I have a rotelle rotelle‘s build quality is as good as PS audio it’s as good as audio research it’s as good as Macintosh if you own one and you’re able to take a physical look at it you’ll find that it is built highest quality out there the reason they can offer such a value they build most of their equipment in-house transformers etc. The capacitors what you know use a film foil that’s only produced in England and everyone that does territorial trance formers of high end 356 $10,000 use the same foil yeah can’t go wrong I’m playing him on dual panel Magis and it’s perfectly neutral and very revealing just like my speakers you can’t go wrong with rotelle and I just ordered the new you can’t go wrong with rotelle and by the way I am an audio engineer retired and I have golden ears and if you follow it take a challenge and look at rotelle you’re going to come out with a different opinion especially in build quality and that’s one of the most important things in electronics besides engineering and design build quality Again this is a hobby and we all have different opinions take 100 always put it on the wall bring 15 speakers and put them on the wall everyone’s going to give you a different opinion it’s a hobby and enjoy it
