Rotel RA-820BX3
AwardedBest Buy by British Audiophile PressClassic Audiophile integrated MM / MC phono stereo amplifier, vintage & rare.in excellent condition Classic British made amplifiers that punch well above their weight even by today’s standards. They are considered one of the best sounding vintage Rotel amplifiers todate. Fantastic classic British sound, full bass, open middle & highs in a generous soundstage.
Thislisting is for a beautiful ROTEL RA-820BX3 Integrated amplifier. Theamplifier is in superb condition as you can see from the photos, andit’s in perfect working order. The RA-820 series (RA-820, RA-820B,RA-820BX and RA-820BX2 & RA-820BX3) were designed by Stan Curtis,and gave excellent sound quality. The BX3 is the latest of theseries, and featured several component changes from earlier models inthe interest of the best sound quality. This particular amplifier isin excellent condition, with a completely unmarked frontpanel, and a case that looks unmarked in the flesh.Featuresare deliberately kept to a minimum, with just input selection (4inputs including a very good MM/MC phono input), mono button and adual concentric volume control (no fading to the volume control, asis common with this series of amps). Rated at 30 watts/channel RMSand 120 watts peak power, the amplifier will drive most speakers(4-16 ?ms),and with a really good source and speakers it will astound you. Ifyou’re looking for a classic 1980s budget super amp in near immaculatecondition then you’ve found it…
