hallo,
the Rc1580 with the ampli Rb1572 or 1582

Well it's only a review, but the RC1580 paired with RB1582 won a pre/power amp combo group test in HiFi Choice (September 2010) magazine here in the UK. It's competition was Astin Trew AT1000/AT5000; Cyrus Pre XP D/8 Power (the pre has built in DAC); NAD C165BEE/C275 BEE; Parasound P3/A23 and Tsakiridis Devices Alexander/Artemis (a valve combo).

Hi Audio_ElF,

I have read a test in a german magazine:
Nad, Rotel, Linn & Marantz: a pre with power ampliffier & integrated plus a power ampli.

exemple a Nad c326be (integrated) with ampli 245 vs. Nad 165be (preampli) with poweramplifier 275beee

Rotel Rc1580 with Rb1572 or 1582 (personaly I like more the "D 1572)...
or the Ra1520 with the ampli Rb1562/1552

.....

the sound the you go have from a bi amplification is very different and can be a personal taste but can be a interessant point of choice....

with te rotels gear you can have a not too much expensive system with a great sound.

but i think nobody have at home this combo....

I search so a combo OnLY for stereo not HT.

The RA-1520 is a stereo pre with integrated 60 watt amp.
The RC-1580 is a stereo pre-amp. A stereo purist will not be happy with a class D amp, so you should go with the RB-1552/82.
