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

I tried arotel. As the "In Living Color" movie reviews said, "Hated it!"

Rotel? You can do better. I own an RB1070 and found it to be not only anemic (no "cojones" if you will), the sound is sterile and lifeless. Decent mid-fi but that’s about it.  Those speakers deserve far better, something less analytical and more musical with some warmth and balls to it.

The description of the 1070 matches my experience with the 1075, except I didnt even feel like I had analytical. And yet the new 1585 has slam, warmth, and all kinds of dynamics. It is a lively and fun amp with good punch. I agree Rotel spent a few years making some poorly received amps and misguidedly implementing class-D into their traditional line-up, but they have gone back to class AB in most of their amps, so i think it is hard to judge the new stuff based on the past. Each piece of equipment should probably be judged on its own merits and not with blanket statements.

Yeah, not much love for Rotel here. My default recommendation is Ayre, but I heard your exact speakers with McIntosh amps at Magnolia and quite liked the combo.  Very sweet sounding.  

Started my hifi voyage with a Rotel RC-1590. Liked it at first. Moved forward to their RDD-1580 DAC and CD player. Within a year the amp's volume control broke. Had it fixed but began demoing other integrated amps. Listened to luxman, modwright, and plunius. I found a great deal on a Primaluna Dialogue Integrated. No comparison to the Rotel. And preferred it much more than those other integrateds.  Even my non-audiophile wife will not let me sell it. 

If set on a SS amp, I've spend some time with a Krell Vanguard and it is very very good. Lower price point would be a Parasound Halo. Even this is WAY better than Rotel. 

As far as front end I've moved to an Auralic Aries and Vega. The Altair is also fantastic.
