Rotel RB-980BX Amplifier

I wasn't going to list this here since I initially put it on local CL, but maybe someone can use it. It's a pretty solid amp. It's not pristine, but certainly not bad... The only real thing I can find with it is one of the red binding posts was replaced prior to when I got it. It's slightly different, but performs as it should.

Basic specs:
  • 220 Watts/channel in 4 ohms
  • 120 Watts/channel in 8 ohms
  • 360 Watts (Bridged/Mono)

I don't have pictures on this computer but will try to add some later.

I'd like to get $200 net (local pickup), but I'll cap it at $215 shipped CONUS. Reasonable offers considered.

    I have one and it is a good amp, especially for the money. This is your huckleberry if you need an amp to drive front speakers or you just want to venture into 2 channel and you are on a budget.

    Good eyes kev! ;) Didn't get a PM...

    It's a lot cleaner than it looks in the pictures - I took those a while ago with a flash, and it picked up every speck of dust, LOL.

    My first amp in my HT was a Rotel RMB-1075. Rotel makes nice stuff for the money - very neutral sounding to a little on the warm side. I'd keep this amp, but don't really have a need for it anymore.

    Hmmm... I did forget to put location, mbbl! I'm smack dab in the Center of Pennsylvania, near State College / Penn State University. I'll do $180 local pickup.

    Thanks for the kind words and endorsement Victor! Hope all is well with you. Best of luck on your upcoming move. You've got some sweet deals in the FM. I was seriously tempted by your PL-7... Glad it sold!
