Whether you are building a second system or brand new to the audiophile game, I can’t recommend a better anchor for your system than the Rotel RX-1052.  It is well built, offers tremendous flexibility (built in MM phono, AM/FM tuner, headphone amplifier and tone controls) and a 100 watt per channel power amplifier.

The Rotel sounds great and takes up very little rack/shelf space, so it’s easy to integrate into your life as well.  Rotel has kept the concept of the receiver alive and has done so with an example that outperforms the classics at a bargain price.
