Item: Rotel RB-970BX
Age: Unknown
Price: R2200 each R2000 each, R3500 for both
Warranty: NA
Packaging: I can make a plan, but these are heavy.
Condition: 9.5/10 (But one unit is a very slightly different shade of black, likely from a different batch or something.)
Location: Durban, Kloof
Reason: It's too much for me.
Shipping: Can make a plan if you insist. Cost/risk on you.
Collection: Preferred
Link: owners manual

These babies can push 60w per channel, or can be bridged to deliver 180w mono. Take both and you have a seriously killer setup. I am sad to let these go, but my speakers are rather efficient, and I live in a complex so it's way too much power for me.

These are Beautiful, I have the same, but with an external surround processor.

If I could find a replacement pre-amp processor, with 4K HDMI, and dolby atmos at a decent price, I would have grabbed these off you without even thinking.

Also, guys looking at this, these are rated as proper watts, not those 5000w items you buy from pioneer etc. No combined amplifier chips in these, and a decent hefty supply transformer.

Anothe note... I would recommend driving these with a Pre-amp, as there is no volume adjustment on them.

Oh yes, there is absolutely nothing in the signal path in these amps, not even volume or gain control, just an RCA straight into the amplifier section. You would need a preamp certainly.
 
Trade?


Tempting, but I prefer cash at this moment.
 
Can I call dibs till 18:00?

Want to confirm with the babes.

UPDATE:
Doesn't seem too viable currently, can't find a decently priced Pre with digital inputs, not ready to spend on a DAC as well.

Pitty, these would have been amazing bi-amped to my DM602s.

It's ridiculous how different it is from "15000W PMPO!!!!1!" systems. I have a 980BX and I was being lazy so I tested it hooked up to my PC via a DAC. Volume was set to 2% on my pc and I almost shat myself when it started playing. I didn't know what to reach for first! Tested a bit more with the master volume at 1% and the music player app at 5% and that was playing pretty loud. Stopped after a bit because I was paranoid something would play that ignores the system volume somehow...

One reason I'm selling them is to actually buy a decent dac. Looking at the Topping dx3 pro for my wife self..
 
Closing, @Giovanni is happy!


(took us a while to get the amps up there, but TCG came through in the end with delivery in less than 24 hours..)
