Multichannel HIFI Beast
Will from Lawrence, KS on 7/19/2024
This is a "HIFI" multichannel amp at an affordable price, considering how everything is priced in the world of audiophilia. This is a better fit for a higher fidelity atmos multichannel music setup, biamping difficult to run hifi speakers and so on. If your use case is just movies, you could settle for some cheaper monolith or something else. If your priority is music, don't miss out on this gem. I am glad Rotel dropped the awful sounding Class D and went back to their Class AB roots with this one. They have not let you down with this beast. Other thoughts: Give it plenty of room to breathe and don't choke it thermally by putting other equipment on top of it. Give it about a 150 hours to burn-in.

Best 5 channel Power Amplifier
Ashwin Conjeeva from BEAR, DE on 10/13/2023
World's best power amplifier, I was literally waiting to add one like this for my Maranta AV7706 Preamplifier with Klipsch RP-6000F II and this one ideally blew my mind. It shows 200W per channel X 5 channels for 8ohm but I feel it renders even more power around 200+ W per channel. Best one Crutchfield ever sells. Robustly built to last for more than 20-30 years with solid chasis and with custom made Dual Toroidal transformers. Crutchfield provides 5-star customer service experience and also they help to price match it as well. I am extremely happy in buying this from Crutchfield and I will be glad to add a few more power amplifiers from Rotel and that too from Crutchfield down the line along with a Projector.
Pros: Robustly built to last for more than 20-30 years with solid chasis . Ultra low noise design with dual custom made Toroidal transformers. Very powerful and extremely underrated
Cons: NIL

Great bang for the buck
Brian T from Milton, DE on 8/12/2023
A great value for it's price point... The amp has built-in cooling fans as well, which are important in my setup. While the response sounds a bit sharp upon initial use, I am expecting (hoping) for that to tame itself as I continue to break-in this new component.
Pros: plenty of horsepower
Cons: large cabinet might require taller shelving to accommodate
