I've been well pleased with the sound of my 'plain vanilla' Rotel RC 1590 and RB 1582 MkII, so I expect these Michi units will be quite impressive. Looks like a power-assisted wallet is a definite requirement though.
Note: Just had a look at the owners manual for the pre-amp on the Rotel site. Tone controls are fitted, so a tick in the box from me for that inclusion - wouldn't have an amp without them .
I'm looking for a pre-amp for my Dynaudio actives, and the Michi P5 looks like a contender. Does anyone know how it works with subs? It has two sub outputs but I couldn't find any reference in the manual to bass management or low pass filtering.
