Rotel RA-10 black

There is often much to be said for getting back to basics, and the RA-10 is certainly an opportunity to do so. The RA-10 delivers 40 W per channel, has four line-level analog inputs, a phono input, and the traditional controls of an integrated amplifier, making it easy and intuitive for any user to operate.

However, the RA-10 is no lightweight. It is a very high quality unit that has benefited from all of our efforts to optimize audio electronics for music reproduction. The RA-10 will bring clarity and dynamism to your music, well beyond what its modest price and ambitions might suggest.

Continuous power (20 Hz - 20 kHz, THD < 0.03%, 8 Ω): 40 W per channel
