But which to choose?

^^^ Very pleased with the Rotel -- runs cool and silent. it's a keeper.

Certainly prevented a case of pneumonia.

^^^ No balanced out on the MA5200. Amp arrived yesterday so far, so good.

Seeking more power for my 2-channel system. Purchased the Rotel which offers 200 watts per channel plus a five year warranty. 12 hours or so into initial operation and it is settling in quite nicely. 200 watts doubles amplifier power from the amp section of my McIntosh MA5200 integrated...

MA5200 at winter residence, primarily using streaming for program sources. Have been hoping to add an outboard amplifier to increase power of the system. Came ]thisclose[ to purchasing an MC152 until my vendor pulled a disappearing act. After rethinking it, I have ordered a Rotel RB-1582 mark...

HA! Won't get fooled again.

Waaaay back in the 1970's I had Rotel amp in my office at CBS Records in New York. It drove a pair of Bozak floor speakers. I left the Rotel and Bozaks behind in 1979 when I left the company. Have now ordered a new Rotel amp to work into a 2-channel system. It'll be interesting (for me...

As noted above .. a science experiment....... but Rotel five year warranty if it passes 60-day Crutchfield probationary period.

My seller of the possible MC152 disappeared but your advice above is appreciated. I have ordered a Rotel amp from Crutchfield, 200 watts per channel. Price was right, it's fully returnable within 60 days, so it's a bit of a science experiment. I had a Rotel amp in my office years ago (1970s)...

Question -- as a listener, not an engineer. I recently put together a 2-channel system at a part-time (winter) residence. The program source is pretty much limited to streaming using vTuner and Spotify from a WiiM Pro Plus streamer and blue tooth from my iPad. Volume levels are low to...

Follow-up: McIntosh shipped me an HR085 remote which works great. Cost to me was less than what these seem to be priced at elsewhere online. I can't speak to any other issues of compatibility -- but my MA5200 is happy and the grungy old HR072 remote has been retired from active service.
