Rotel RB-5000 and RC-5000 (1978-1980) [Specifications, Service, Catalogues and Owner's Manual PDF] | Forum | FusoElektronique

The RB-5000 is a powerful amplifier. It can put out a rather incredible big power, which is a definite advantage in realizing very accurate sound reproduction at all listening levels. But the power is only a small indication of the RB-5000's marvellous characteristics.

The RB-5000 is a state of the art product resulting from Rotel's untiring engineering research to create the best. In a true sense, it can be looked upon as a highly sophisticated and complex machine.

The RB-5000 is a pure elegance. No other words may describe it better. The clean, undistorted sound it can reproduce is overwhelmingly impressive. The well-thought electronic circuitry clearly shows a very high level technology. The formidable looking front facia is a sheer joy to watch and touch, also being functionally laid out.

Yet, fundamentally, it is a simple tool for ultimate listening pleasure... something to treasure, the RB-5000 power amplifier.
