The new Rotel A8 integrated amplifier is presented by the manufacturer as a high-performance entry-level model, resulting in an attractive price.
The Rotel A8 proves that you don’t need to pay a fortune to enhance your hifi setup’s sound quality. This fully integrated amplifier includes everything you need. The robust power supply, featuring a hefty toroidal transformer, enables a maximum output power of 40 Watts at 4 Ohms. This is achieved through a Class A/B amplifier stage. At the back, you’ll find three sets of RCA line inputs. Rotel has also catered to vinyl enthusiasts with an MM phono input.
Headphones
If you prefer listening through headphones, simply look at the front of the Rotel A8. Here, you’ll find a headphone jack, as well as controls for treble, bass, balance, and source selection. And, of course, a prominently placed volume knob. As promised, you won’t need to dig deep into your pockets to make the A8 yours. The price tag shows a very reasonable €399! For that amount, you can give the average standard hifi setup a significant boost.
