#hometheater #rotel #surroundsound - Наука та технологія
I am subscribed to many other audiophile UA-cam channels out there and I must say after finding you today this is truly one of the best channels
Yeah I'm running that Rotel RMB 1585 & Rotel RB 1590 through my Pioneer receiver at the moment. I love both of these amps! My big Pioneer surround receiver will be given to my son as soon as I upgrade to the Marantz AV 8805. Great review!
So did you upgrade to the 8805....how is this unit performing for you..
Love the honest criticism in your reviews.
You are the man, really love your set up !!!!
Great review as always Shane thanks!
Killed it again man. Nice work.
Question: where did you get your theater chairs?
Great video Shane.
Have you reviewed the Yamaha pre/pro home theatre 🎭 separates? Would you pair the Rotel 5 channel with the Nad processor?
Great review! Anthem MCA next?
Hey Shane so i couple of questions: when you compared the 1585 to the xpa11 it sounded like the main issue with the xpa 11 was the 65wpc. How did the emotiva handle your lcr though? Eventually i want to amplify 11ch, what im considering among other things are xpa7+4 or possibly a combination of 1585/1555 and one of their stereo amps. Do you have any experience with the rmb 1555 by the way. It's not as strong as the 1585, only 120wpc but should be enough for surrounds and heights I'm thinking. Appreciate you input :D
Thanks for this video ! I want to buy a new amplifier and I hesitate between the Rotel 1585 and the Emotiva XPA5Gen3. Could you describe more the difference between these two models ? Thanks a lot !
Nice review. I'm more like on the soft and warm side of sound, so i think i will probably like it. I would love to see the rotel rap1580 and arcam fmj avr850, if possible that is XD. By the way, what kind of gear you need to manual calibrate a processor or amplifier like this? Or is it best get a professional to do it?
Love Rotel
I am running a Rotel RB 1582 mk 2 powering axiom M100 front mains with a anthem MRX 1120 powering 2 Axiom M100 rear surround, definitive technology side surround, JBL SC3000 sat front and rear surround
Please review Yamaha MX 5200 & CX A5200 compared to this Rotel not sure which to purchase. Thanks
Just found yr channel :) Cant wait for me to get a house where im able to build my own "cinema" .
Dreaming on arendal speakers and rotel amps as a build
I just got the Rotel rmb1585 for my svs ultra center ,ultra surround and ultra bookshelfs,and its a beast it drives the speakers with no problems.The RMB 1585 is simply a beast
Even a simple avr can do the same job i just dont get the hype. I mean the amplification part. Processing is a different story
@@vishaalgargi 😂you mean a simple avr can do the same job(amplification) as the rmb 1585 not even the biggest denon marantz and my yamaha 3080 comes even close to that beast,and those avrs have 2 *150watts per channel max for 9-11 channels,and rmb have 5 *200watts per channel,so i think you wrong here
Are you planing to do a review of the new Rotel RSP1576 mkII with Dirac?
I'll be damned if I dont love your videos. Parents are building a theater and this may be an option for them. Great review as always Shane!
It's up for sale on my Patreon. Half off 😉
Hi I know this is an older topic I'm looking to putting an amp with my receiver the Rotel 5 channel 1575 it's an older model I can get one for a good price in very good condition near-new in a box wondering on your thoughts on that model if it's a good one to add being d-class and if it would still be a benefit thank you
Hello ! Which of the two would you choose which is higher quality ROTEL RB 1590 or EMOTIVA XPA DR2. Thanks !
I currently have a Sunfire Theater Grand 7401 and a Sunfire Theater Grand 7400. How do these amps stack-up to the Rotel 1585?
I have a Denon 4500H with BIC FH6 LCRs. I plan on getting SVS Ultra bookshelfs and an Outlaw 7009x. I think it'll be a pretty good setup.
Any thoughts on the Rotel amps matched with MK s150 speakers? Have been thinking about the RMB-1555.
That is just my opinion of course, thanks for the reviews
Man you are a beast on the reviews. Keep up the good work.
What's the expectations for dirac live as it seems to be an issue with another processor as well??
To me, this is the Holy Grail of audio equipment. Now, I now there are lots of other brands out there and fans that are loyal to them. For me, Rotel is king. I had and an RMB-1075 and wish I never sold it. This combo that you show here must sound fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing. Now, I've got to sell my car so I can buy them both.
Either you have a shitty car or you can't budget money.
5k isn't allot
Which amplifier you like more rotel 1585 or outlaw 7220
I am also running definitive technology BP7000 Bipolar tower speakers which has a 1500 W subwoofer in each tower with a 10”” infosonic sub
Since my Rotel A14 does not support surround sound I am looking for a Rotel AV receiver ... I also picked up a second hand Rotel RSP 1068 Surround sound processor/per amp... obviously I do not have surround sound knowledge ... can someone assist ?
And how about the combination RC 1590 and RB 1590 from Rotel with b&w 702 s2 or Signature boxes
It would be cool if you could review the outlaw audio model 976 processor maybe with one of the outlaw ampers. I know compared to the processors you use the outlaw audio model 976 is outdated. I do hear it has great sound quality and I only plan on running an RP klipsch 7.1 system. I’ve already bought the outlaw audio 7000x amp, Rp8000f’s, Rp600c,Rp600m’s and running off an old denon at the moment but want to upgrade to xlr seperates. I’ve yet to buy rear surrounds and a couple subs all in good time. I’m 4K invested in the last couple months and need to wait until maybe next Christmas to get the rest of the speakers.
Hey there, what is your opinion on Rotel vs Cambridge - Trying to get up a good preamp/power amp combo for 2 channel audio listening. Looking for more on warmer sound stage with 2 Wharfdale Evo 4.4 floorstanders.
I think the 15 series amps are warm and so are the Cambridge Edge series.
I remember you stating and I think I read it before, XLR’s are good to make any discernible difference in longer runs. What are we talking about here? I would probably need a 6ft cable from my amp. Or just decent RCA’s
Enjoyed the video. Haven’t come across the concept of two center channels. Have you ever had such a setup?
Anyone else?
My first time hearing about it.
If you have a large screen some people will use two centers like they do at the theater.
Hi Shane good video. I have a Marantz SR 8012 AVR is it worth putting a Rotel RMD 1555 to drive the front stage and the two sides would it improve the separation and music. The SR 8012 only has unbalanced output is this a deterrent
Yes it'll sound better with a high quality amp.
Does anyone know when this RMB-1585 model was released?
Thanks for posting the video. Even tho you removed the M17 V2 from your theater setup, it was nice to know your thoughts on it. And now that you’ve removed it, it now has Atmos AND DTS-X. Lol If my Enlightened Audio Design Powermaster 1000 amp ever dies, I will take a look at the Rotel to replace it. Thanks Shane.
Yeah I noticed right after I dropped the review for it and complained they dropped the update 🤷🏽♂️
@@therealshanelee Great....
Have anyone experienced RSP-1570 and RMB-1075 combo? Did noticed any pop/clip while changing input source or channels?
Hi Shane, do you have any news about the implementation of dirac in this unit?
I haven't heard a peep from them.
can the amp be bi-amp and if so whats the output?
Does this processor really have no idea how to playback DSD (DSF files)?
Or even FLAC, for that matter?
Sparechange..How would you compare the 1585 vs the Parasound 52+?
I've only heard it in showrooms with different speakers than mine. So I wouldn't be able to give you an honest answer.
Just ordered the rsp1576mk2. And I have the 5 channel beast you are reviewing here. Sure it will sound fantastic with with Tannoy definition series speakers 😉
Sweet. Didn't know they had a rap1576. I've only seen the 1580.
@@therealshanelee RSP. Must have mistyped. Just looking at the manual I noticed they have removed the bit saying when all set to large and no sub the LFE channel is routed to large speakers. My last unit was the RSP-1570 and this did that? Did you find the RSP-1576 to reroute the sub to all speakers set to large when sub was set to "no"?
Are you planning on reviewing the Rotel RSP-1576 MK II with Dirac Live?
Possibly
What combo do you recommend with a 5500$ budget - want to upgrade my system and out of all the reviews it's hard to decide, I know it's personal as well due to room dynamics, etc but just for recommendation which would you go for as a dedicated system in the budget realm. Appreciate all your efforts thanks for the videos
I'd hold off and see what these new Emotivas offer.
SpareChange ideally would want an amp for the front stage and another for the surrounds which would leave the processor
I know that would run a bit more if I go for the upper end of audio processors - which means adding another ”G”
But well Que sera sera thanks brother thanks for the response
Hi Shane, I’m running the Denon AVR 8500 just ordered the Rotel RMB 1585, think the AVR 8500 will serve as a good preamp for he future?
Yes it'll be perfectly fine.
SpareChange thanks wasn’t sure appreciate it
Nice job. I'm eyeballing the 1585 for my two Polk Legend l800's, and the SVS Ultra Towers and Ultra Center Channel. I'm pretty sure I'll stay with the 1585, but I'm still searching for the Pre Amp that I'll use, I also have an HSU 15H sub. I'm leaning Parasound, but the 1590mkll also is interesting....
Update 15 Oct 2021
Pulled the trigger on the 1585, decided on the 1576 pre. Super excited
So How are you finding the 1585..is it meeting your expectations...
@@chrissheldrick4073 Thaks for asking. I found my speakers, the front three clipping with the Rotel. I returned it and went with a D Sonic, 7 Channel. I may have blown my center, I need to test it, but,,,lazy is an understatement
@@roberthuttle I see.. So looks like the 1585 was to much for your speakers.. Did you enjoy the sound while you were using this amp
@@chrissheldrick4073 actually, I believe the Rotel was not strong enough. I went to the animal
What pre pro do you recommend for the best bang for the buck
The Marantz 7705 is good choice.
amzn.to/2XPzdbE
Between this review and the article from soundstage posted under Rotels website review links I am now moving forward on the 1585 for my bowers theater set up. However, this review and others o have seen have deterred me from getting the processor. Any recommendations on what processor I could pair with this amp for around 2k?
More $3k. Emotiva XMC2.
What are some good soundbar for my new room? Has to be Dolby atmos and dts x for budget price
Get the one at Best Buy
Get the q90 r samsung soundbar...or nakamichi 9.4 sounbar. They are the best
Rotel RSP-1576 or Anthem AVM60?
I have a Denon x-4400h and i'm running all pre outs to all Klipsh RP.
I want to get ( 6 ) 1723 Monitors ( 1 ) 1723 Center and I was afraid the Denon wouldn't hold.
I also have a Outlaw 5000 amp -But- I want to add an Outlaw 7220 any advice?
Anthem is better.
@@therealshanelee thanks got a lead on one. Outlaw 7220 and 1723 seem like a fit?
O do you have any links on XLR cables that are good? Thanks for you opinion.
Im using the same receiver, I've ran Rotel, Adcon, Integra. Did alot of research and tossed it around and decided to go with Anthem which ill have in a couple of days.
Great review as always, looking at this and the Anthem avm60 for pre/pro.Think the anthem has the edge.
Hold off I've seen the new Anthem.
@@therealshanelee Oh wow, awesome !! Thanks!
@@therealshanelee Had a feeling, the avm60 is on sale here in Canada.
SpareChange What new Anthem? Does it look like their new Stereo amps? 🙀
Do you notice any diffrence from your old poweramp rmb-10xx against rmb-1585..?
It’s quieter and it’s got a fuller sound. Not as bright as the 10’s.
@@therealshanelee ok would you say it is whort the money going on the 1585 instead of the the 1095 for over half the price..? I have svs ultra tower's speakers whit surrounds and center.
Arcam avr550 as pre reciver.
Tell me can you run jtr speakers on the rotel amp 1585
Of course.
@@therealshanelee thank you for your reply
Have tried Final Fantasy 15 using your setup
Is that an Audio Control prepro I see in the rack behind you?😊
Behind who?!
Ok. You can deny , but I know what I’m seeing.😂
The More I look at your channel the more broke I will become after this COVID-19 ish is over.. who cares about 401...lol
It's never going to be over. Economy is crumbling and will never come back. The result of not manufacturing anything.
How does the Games Sound with your setup
I don't game.
Hey bro, I know you agreed to an apt tour but do you really live in an apt? I have a modest 11.1 channel system in my apt but your build out is hardcore dedicated system for a home lol. How do you get away this??! 😂
Hey Shane Rotel 1585 or Outlaw 7220
For me I preferred the Rotel. But I’d be happy with the Outlaw. And the Rotel just looks better in my rack.
Want to ask a question about this proccesor. In another persons video that marantz proccesor you review it gets hot (!) when working, I knew receivers did (except some really good ones like arcam 850 and rotel 1580), but a proccesor? Unacceptable. I wanted to ask you about the rotel rsp1576 it is getting hot too. Seriously doudt it though.
Warm but not hot.
Thanks for the quick answer !
You can never have enough many RCA jacks.
So it still doesn't look like Rotel is getting the DIRAC Live update... Might as well look elsewhere?
I'd skip this model.
1576mkii coming out in November with Dirac
mi9r Just ordered the RSP-1576MKII with FULL Dirac Live included. Not sure if I want to pair it with the RMB-1585 (200wpc) or the 1555 (120WPC) running B&W 805D3, HTM2D3
SpareChange Are you getting the 1576MkII?
Ok that's why some new people get BOSE ... because you have to be like audio engineer to get good sound .....
Long time Rotel fan but always behind the 8ball and no room correction !?!
True
@@therealshanelee Just switched to the xmc2 & xpa11 and so far better then what i`ve had so far...
Motogp34 Heard the XMC-2 is bug heaven?
@@guillermomartin8248 Couple of minor but fixed
I noticed you said that you weren’t sure why their flagship processor didn’t have XLR, but the RSP1576 isn’t their flagship processor. I believe that the RSP1582 is.
It's not that's their old one.
I will asume that maybe rotel will make an rsp1586? and will be a dolby atmos and dts x balanced outputs hi end processor
Very nice setup its a damn shame that Rotel is made in China. I remember back in the day it used to say on that sticker made in USA. I like the Marantz 8805 better. That's the one I own. What's your opinion on the emotiva equipment I see it around a lot just never heard it nobody has it from where I'm from.
FADETOBLACK Rotel was founded and has always operated out of Tokyo. They have been around for over 50 years. Still being ran by the same family. They have never built anything in America.
@@tyleryosef9862 thanks for that correction. I was thinking about Adcom. My bad
👌
I am still running a 5.1 system the ROTEL rsp1570 and RMB1565 not interested in more channels for Dolby atmos or DTSX
ekim andersom 😂😂
I always found rotel very harsh sounding and very lacking when it comes to bass management in their processors...aventage products even at their base levels leave rotel for dead
So the Rotel is kind of a waste of money.
First thing get your ears checked, if all good, pick the system you want that's suits your taste and looks and feels and how it sounds based on what you experience at the demo, plus ask these important questions, cost, warranty and how is the system set up at the demo place, ie: speaker cables and if its linked optically or via other means like your normal RCA leads HDMI and what version is the HDMI, also your home the size of the room and what type of movies your into, like most new movies compared to older one even if released are not DTS or ATMOs or even 5.1 or 7.1 or 12.1 etc etc, so be very careful ask as much questions as you can based on what your home theater room is like, is it a dedicated home theater room, with sound proofing and how much room do you have and what type of seating is going to be used also get a pro installer to do the work with hi quality cables and speaker wires and always by with in your budget and always go mid rage and buy what you want to have to last, you can always update the TV/Projector and most all in one system good bands will give you what you want, if you can afford it, as in your talking around 10 to 15K just for the sound system + add a good 10K for speakers and then 10K for TV/Projector so around 50K if you can afford it, thats including set up for the room as well, dedicated leather seating for say 8 people raised rear seating etc. :) injoy people. :) Also do not be fooled in demo DVD's ,they are engineered to sound just right, DTS/ATMOS IMAX etc etc, if you can have the set up with a mic in the middle of the room and the system will automatically adjust settings based on the rooms layout, perfect, then adjust the speakers based on how you want to hear it, sound wise, like if you want more center channel voice sound for those love movies etc, action, well you want more effects etc. :)
2:58 says it all: Made by Rotel in Chy-na! No thanks, Anthem FTW
Your videos are WAY to LOW in volume!
Rotel sucks. Lexicon, Acurus, much better
Those two are in a different price bracket but to each their own 👍
Guy who rides a bike arguing about Ferrari's vs Lambos lol
I think name of the channel says it best. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO YOUR SPARECHANGE. In this hobby to what works best for your setup
And you can't even tell us why.
@@tyleryosef9862 More than likely it's the "armchair audiophile" opinion of just reading an article on the internet. And then declaring himself as an "expert"
