Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000?


So I just purchased a pair of B&W CDM-9NT and am now going deep down the rabbit hole trying to find an amp that’s going to let these speakers sing to their fullest. I keep coming back to Rotel as the consensus appears to be that these amps pair very well with B&Ws. I was trying to keep the budget to $1000...then $1500...now I’m looking at $3000 options...I’m not willing to go up to the McIntosh prices at the moment so I’m capping myself at $3k new or used.

I was thinking that going integrated was the best option when looking at the $1500ish options. Now maybe separates would make sense at $3000?

Goals in sound are excellent imaging and separation. Strong and tight bass is a must. Music selection is mainly very bass forward genres like hip hop & EDM. I also enjoy jazz, rock and sometimes classical as the mood strikes. A must have is digital connectivity for hi-res streaming. The room is 14x18 if that matters.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello there.
     For  your budget between 1500 and $3000. An older Krell amp KAV 250 a, krell KSA  class A.  If you can find a Jeff  Rowland 125 that would be an excellent Choice .should be in that price range  too. Just my thoughts. Good luck
The Rotel RA-1592 Mk ll would be great with your B&Ws and it is a good value. Rotel gear is well built and their amps have excellent power supplies; An area other manufacturers of gear in Rotel’s price range skimp on IMO.
I’ve really enjoyed my Rotel RB-1590 with my B&W 683 S2. Good luck in your amp search.

Cheers,

Scott
There are a set of  Wyred4Sound - SX-1000 monoblocks (ICEpower) over on usaudiomart for $1200.  Pair those with a $1000 used  Rogue RP-1 and a set of Mullard  matched tubes and your flying high.  Do some searches on here about users who combine Tube pre and class D amplification.
Again... Bryston, very good amps, great sound, slew rate of 60v/µs, can buy used with warranty from factory, 5 year warranty. You can do used separates for less than $3k. You really should listen to them!

I’m having difficulty nailing down your requirements.

Are you asking for an amp or an integrated amp? If amp, what’s your preamp?

Do you have a DAC and/or streamer, or is it budgeted in the $3k?

No direct experience but Peachtree seems good for the $, but you can do better sonically within your budget such as a Hegel.
