"Outstanding Product Award" - Hi-Fi News Magazine

"'Exciting' doesn't quite cover it. The RA-1592MKII was capable of turning on the thrills while always staying entirely assured, keeping my attention riveted on the music, as well as the ambience..."

"It's now highly desirable for anyone wanting a great sound and excellent speaker-driving ability without going down the pre/power amp route. This isn't just a very sensible buy – it's an absolute bargain."

- Andrew Everard, Hi-Fi News magazine, February 15, 2022

"Exceptional Value Award" - TONEaudio Magazine

"What makes the Rotel 1592 MKII the recipient of one of our Exceptional Value Awards for 2021 is its high level of overall competence. Even buying gently used pre owned components, it’s doubtful that you could come up with a fully functioning preamplifier, DAC, headphone amplifier, MM phonostage and a 200 watt per channel power amplifier of this quality for anywhere near the cost of the 1592 – that’s it’s beauty."

"For many, the mix of components is the thrill in assembling a music system, however if you happen to be a serious music lover that doesn’t want to go through the myriad of choices (and potential non synergistic ones), call it a day with the Rotel. You won’t regret it."

- Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio magazine, 2021

"Highly Recommended" - CNET.com

"The Rotel RA-1592 is a first-rate stereo integrated amp that will bring out the best with whatever speakers you care to pair with it. Highly recommended!"

- Steve Guttenberg, CNET.com, May 14, 2016

"Is this my new reference?"

"The Rotel 1592 MKII, like many Rotel products before it, impresses. We review a lot of integrated amplifiers on this channel, and it has taken this Rotel to get me to even contemplate making a change. While there are other great options on the market, the 1592 MKII has captured my attention in ways few others this side of five grand have."

- Andrew Robinson, therobinsonbrand.com, June 5, 2022

"The Rotel RA-1592MKII proved itself a worthy partner for each of the speakers I had on hand during its stay, with some pairings working better than others. But regardless of the speaker in play, the Rotel offered a nicely controlled, even-handed, and solid sound that was able to convey music’s rich and varied voices with authority."

- Michael Lavorgna, darko.audio, June 13, 2011

"There's a lot of capability and complexity in today's high-end electronics and with that comes high expectations and little to no room for excuses. To that end, Rotel connects with a one-two punch of glitch-free performance paired with a level of connectivity that will appeal to listeners across the generational spectrum. The RA-1592 delivers on the promise that Rotel made years ago — rock 'em, sock 'em performance at a stingy, blue-collar price. Well played Rotel, well played."

- Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound magazine, January 24, 2017

"The Rotel RA-1592 integrated amplifier provides a wealth of features and convenience for a competitive price. The included DAC has a highly-resolving, neutral quality to it and the powerful amplifier should drive most speakers with ease."

"This is a very powerful, fully-featured amplifier. I consistently admired the Rotel's ability to drive speakers and there was never a moment I felt I could not achieve concert-level volumes if desired. Overall, I'd characterize the presentation as neutral, with an ever so slight polish in the treble. The Rotel is noteworthy for its ability to reveal the many nuances of the human voice, be them in music or video. I was surprised to find how often I used Bluetooth streaming and can report the quality and consistency is excellent."
