Rotel RAP-1580 - Pros & Cons

the setup menus are easy to navigate
Audio performance is excellent
dynamics and subtleties of a great movie soundtrack
High performance audio with excellent sound quality
large front panel display provides easy adjustments of all configuration parameters
resulting playback performance was decent
remote operation of the processor was fairly good for everyday use
convenient features like the wireless Bluetooth playback and headphone feature also performed respectably
looks clean and uncluttered
beautifully through the RAP-1580MKII
very nicely
good bass line and rhythm
simple to operate
powerful
flexible and refined
Steering is crisp
smooth and tightly turning volume knob
The control is impressive
very lively and wide sound field is striking
solid and refined construction
classier connectivity
and simpler operation

not going to pass unnoticed on your equipment rack
There are no component or composite video jacks
Absence of auto calibration is not a factor
none support scaling
only passthrough
bespoke external low-pass filtering
It lacks the DSD signal processing capability
lack of a radio tuner in the unit
it did not lock in immediately to the signals during digital music playback
no speaker is hanging here
no redundant processing of video signals that may unnecessarily degrade the video quality
The ethernet port here is not for network streaming playback
RAP-1580 is not an amplifier for the novice home cinema fan
The integrated amplifier is not a receiver - which
these users there is no automatic calibration function
Rotel does not focus on advanced on-screen displays
the various speaker configurations are very limited
A real waste and reflects poor design
no learning function
no tuner built in
by the tone and timbre of the piano and horns
the treble sizzled a bit too much for my liking
the uppermost frequencies are not recessed or otherwise diminished
limited to two channels only
this makes installation a bit tiring
The receiver itself can only power two overhead speakers
lacks an AM/FM tuner
not having two sub inputs is a problem
FM reception is not supported
