I have an opportunity to purchase a used RA 972. Although several years old, will this amp still compete with more "modern" budget/mid priced amps? It will be the engine for a pair of bookshelf speakers. Thanks.

YES!!!
I still have my old RA932 (rated 35W/ch) and it still rocks...I am running a pair of bookshelf speakers off it and it sounds amazing.
I have no plans of trading mine; it is still that good. I was able to compare it to a more modern NAD with a greater wattage. The NAD was hooked up to a pair of Mission floorstanders. That pairing was about $500 more expensive than my old RA932 and Boston CR65 set-up. The bass and clarity just blew the NAD/Mission set away...my friend was not impressed with his buy...Regards :T,

Rotel's 900-series of pre's, power amps, integrateds and receivers leave very little to be desired in their price range..

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring
production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

The RSX-972 runs my centre, rears & sub. The fronts are run through... -
Pertaining to the following fairly old thread, I am now posting my response in this Rotel Forum:
weird piano sound
Has anyone experienced this with either a 972, a 1055, or any other receiver for that matter? Thanks.... -

I was just at a dealer and he reminded me of my old RSX 965. I had it and there was a distinctive hum being generated somewhere and it sounded like a grounding issue but I couldn't get around it. Finally after much complaining my Rotel store took it in to be fixed and the tech guy said it was definitely...05 February 2003, 23:51 Wednesday -
Hey guys,
I've been researching power amps for my 2 channel stereo setup. My problem is that here in Australia, it is very hard to audition these amps where I'm based now, so will need to rely more upon reviews/opinions as such to base my decision. Anyway, I have managed to narrow my...
