Rotel

In an effort to keep high-end CD playback and amplification as affordable as possible, Rotel has introduced two new products into the United States market, the RCD-6SE CD player and the RA-05SE integrated amplifier, both selling for $599. Needless to say, both products have the same spacious, clear, and neutral sound always associated with Rotel products and offer a surprising level of true high-end performance for their price. Both units come in an attractive, brushed-aluminum finish and are fully remote controllable. The RA-05SE integrated amplifier has a built-in phono section and outputs 40 watts/channel. All one needs to add to these two components is a pair of high-quality loudspeakers for audiophile-grade sound at a very modest price.
