DJQ Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 hello any bros here using the new Rotel 06 series? i am now contemplating whether to get the RCD-06 cd player with RA-04 intergrated amp for a stereo setup. also how much will this 2 items generally cost? since the rotel are made in UK, they are known to match very well with B&W as i was told. if its off budget might have to go marantz cd player+amp setup which i believe might be cheaper. thks to any bros with feedback, need to do some homework b4 i plunge into it. ;)
yellowhandman Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 i dunno how much trust you have in WHAT HI-FI, but they have given terrible reviews to the 06 cd player. surprising, because they usually rave about rotel products.
hifiluv Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 ..the rotel are made in UK... Rotel is UK design but manufacture in China, unless u re talking about the older models. :)

blackburn Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 years ago i had the ra-02 intergrated amp briefly at my disposal. it was driving the dynaudio 52s. i was surprised that this inexpensive little amp can belt out my fourplay elixir album with such excitement and enthusiasm. the forward sounding rotel had a nice lush soundstage but not as refined as (the more expensive roksan capsian). the $500 plus ra-02 is a decent amp for music and i believe ra-06 still retains the signature sound but it is more beefed up
DJQ Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 wow so exp( to me ) :P so currently anyone any idea how much this rotels going for?

What kind of music do you like to listen too?
DJQ Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 How much is your budget? What kind of music do you like to listen too? My budget is abt 800 plus and I would preferred jazz music most.
synthesis1624705793 Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 My budget is abt 800 plus and I would preferred jazz music most. How about $300+ MIC tube amp and Marantz CDP. It should match your budget.
DJQ Posted September 2, 2007 Author Posted September 2, 2007 How about $300+ MIC tube amp and Marantz CDP. It should match your budget. yeah i thought so too. was thinking to get the Dared mp5 or marantz 2chn amp and a marantz CDP already. have check the rotels are priced to abt $600plus each even when made in china? isnt china production bringing prices to a more competitive level for a UK brand?
synthesis1624705793 Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 yeah i thought so too. was thinking to get the Dared mp5 or marantz 2chn amp and a marantz CDP already. This one is considerably cheaper than JohnBlue. ;D http://www.xtremeplace.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=47588.0 :)
