Επειδή στο thread για τον πολυκάναλο 1077 της Rotel μίλησα για στροφή (και) της εν λόγω εταιρείας στην τάξη D, και συγκεκριμένα σε ICEpower modules, είπα να σας βάλω και μερικά review απο τον δικάναλο τελικό της που κάνει χρήση του μεγάλου module της B&O προκειμένου να δώσει 500 watt στο κανάλι, τον 1092.
To module αυτό δεν θα είναι άγνωστο σε όσους παρακολουθούν τα των ψηφιακών. Το ίδιο ακριβώς module χρησιμοποιείται και απο τις Bel Canto, Jeff Rowland, EAR, PS Audio, Μurano (πρόσφατη ανακάλυψη αυτή) κλπ. στους αντίστοιχους τελικούς και πάντα καταφέρνουν να αποσπάσουν πολύ θετικά reviews.
Έχω μαζέψει 3 review για τον συγκεκριμένο ενισχυτή οπότε θα τα βάλω όλα εδώ, κάνοντας quote μόνο τα συμπεράσματα, για να κάνουμε οικονομία χώρου στη βάση του forum! :happy_6:

"Conclusions
Some people enjoy having mammoth sized amplifiers costing megabucks. Others don't have the space, the money, or the spouse approval to do so. Clearly, manufactures are aware of this and are adding components to their lineup that are able to meet these requirements.
You have always been able to buy small efficient switching power amplifiers. Unfortunately, they were often very expensive, terrible sounding, or worse . . . both.
We are seeing more choices now of smartly designed, quality components that deliver the goods without taking up too much space. It doesn't come absolutely cheap however, for $2500 only gets you two channels. Of course that is two channels of virtually bottomless power mind you.
In fact, the power delivered by this amp was astounding and the B&W 804 towers are able to throw forward some serious sound when pushed hard. I never found myself wishing for more power or being fatigued with extended listening even with my heavier discs.
I love hearing new layers within my old music, and the Rotel amp did just that. Rotel has constructed a high quality dual-mono class D that excels from the bottom up." -- Jared Rachwalski

"Buying the Rotel will require a leap of faith. A little voice will tell you that you simply cannot drag that much power out of so small a unit. The same voice will tell you that only huge amps from the USA or Germany can aspire to such authoritative performance. It will tell you that a zero has dropped off the price sticker. But if you can live without the the final, teenie bits of subtlety, and you have speakers that aren't exaggerated on top, the Rotel RB-1092 will rock your world." -- Ken Kessler

"Nice job Rotel! You’ve created a high value component that can be easily used in a 2-channel or home theater application. Paired with the right speakers and cables it will make beautiful music, especially with dynamic and energetic music. Definitely recommended." -- Ed Momkus
"I had a notion of going toward all low power tube in reconfiguring my listening set up, but this experience has caused me to rethink my approach. I wonder how this amp would sound with a tube front end…" -- Jeff Heuel
