When I see pics of Rotel components under the hood, like their preamps and CD players, they always seem quite bare in comparison with similar offerings from Marantz, NAD, etc. I suspect this has to do with their "minimalist design" philosophy. I think Classe has this same approach in regards to their gear. But my question is, what led them to this type of approach? Is there a sonic advantage, maybe "less is more?" Thanks.

Less parts... less parts to go wrong.
Less parts... less interference from other things in there.
Less parts... maybe just an overall better and efficient design.
Rotel also doesn't offer all the craziness that a lot of other manufacturers do like Auto EQ, 1001 DSP settings, etc... which means less needed inside the unit.
I could be wrong.Digital Audio makes me Happy.

Now that I'm nearly finished building my Statement II's, my current receiver (Marantz NR1501 @7x50W) is too underpowered to drive them. Building these speakers (incl. designing/stuffing... -
As the title indicates, this will be my first ever original design.
I have some experience building speakers as I've built NatPs, Khanspires and the matching WTMW center.
However, I have no experience with doing this from scratch so I will definitely need some help with driver... -
Hey y'all, long time no see. I've been futzing around with no surround sound speakers for a while and finally just decided I want to throw something together real quick with some Tang Band W4-1337 drivers I have. Since they're full range, I could technically just mount them in a box and be done correct?...
