Rotel RSX-1560 Surround Sound Receiver Preview

 

The Rotel RSX-1560, with class D amps, 4 HDMI inputs, and dual sub AND center channel outs certainly has a lot of bells and whistles for a more esoteric brand.

Rotel RSX-1560 Surround Sound Receiver First Look

 

There are a lot of people out there that are huge Rotel fans. They have a reputation for high end quality at the bottom range of high end prices. When one is looking to get into esoterica, this is often their entry-level purchase. Aesthetics alone push...

Is the Rotel RSX-1560 a perfect receiver? Well, that remains to be seen. The aesthetics certainly are nice (with either a silver or black finish and an extremely industrial design that should appeal to many), the power consumption minimal, and the...

Hands On: Rotel RSX-1560 Surround Sound Receiver

 

With killer looks and killer sound, Rotel's latest surround-sound receiver is an all-around show off.

Plenty of power ; Inputs/outputs galore, including multizone ; Audiophile-grade performance, beautiful aesthetics

Setup and programming better left to a pro ; Audyssey or other equalization would be a plus ; No phono stage inputs

As a current Rotel owner, I can't see spending ’600 or maybe a few hundred less street price, on this. For As a current Rotel owner, I can000 you can get something from Integra or Denon that will compete on every level, plus you will get room...

Rotel RSX-1560 A/V Receiver

 

Energy will likely be the defining challenge of our lifetimes. We use a lot of it but need to use less, so the ways in which we use it must become more responsible, creative, and resourceful. Will home theater continue to add to the quality of life in...

Rotel RSX-1560 review

 

We've met Rotel's multichannel amplifiers before, but can the '1560 garner as much praise as the '1550 before it?

Terrific weight, scale and dynamics combined with excellent detail and surround precision ; lovely styling and build

Some might miss the luxuries rivals offer ; a little hardness to the upper-mid and treble

We don’t mind the missing bells-and-whistles, but we do mind that this isn’t quite an audio all-rounder

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Power and refinement with no equal.

 

The first part of this review will deal with performance since this is the key to any good audio equipment. The last will talk about features. Rotel is a household name amongst audiophiles having a reputation as “The poor mans audiophile ...

Best sound in its price or any other price

Does not auto set up or make coffee
