Reviews[edit]

  • Hifi-Magazine STEREOPLAY No. 3/1987 (Rating: Top Class III)
  • In 1987 B&W Loudspeakers Vertrieb GmbH in Halle (Westphalia) took over the ROTEL brand as sole distributor for Germany.
  • Similar model: RA-840BX2
    • Main differences: 2 standard transformers and a larger heat sink.
