Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3

Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3.  

I am going to use these speakers in my family room, my wife really wants me to complete this system soon so we can play christmas music and she can finally watch TV with some good sound. 

I am looking at possibly Rotel power for this. 

Either the integrated solution: 
Rotel RA1592

Or going separates:
Rotel RC1570 or RC1590 preamp
Rotel RB1582mk2 or RB1590 amp. 

Thoughts?

Thanks!

The Rotel is nice gear indeed. Seek out the older models for separates.
The newest stuff id junk-sourced to china. The older gear is pure U.K.
There is a difference, IMO.

Happy Listening!

RB 1080 was a nice power amp (200+200W)
The 1066 or 1068 is a nice pre-amp processor as well.
The 1098 was the top pre-amp processor for many years.
All can be found on eBay.

I had the RC1070 preamp before. Also had the RB1070 and then the RB1090 in the past and I enjoyed them.

I like the look of the new ones and I want to make sure the capacitors and electrics are new so they last. I need it to be worry free because this is going to the family room... need it to be reliable.

Looking for pure stereo.
