The Rotel Amora 5 has landed, and it’s already making an impression.
Just two days after its launch, Rotel’s first passive loudspeaker in more than 25 years is already attracting plenty of attention from the hi-fi press.
What Hi-Fi? (https://loom.ly/EPZpasI) describes the Amora 5 as promising “exceptional resolution and accuracy”, while The Ear (https://loom.ly/gCr-iJU), StereoNET (https://loom.ly/h4Mp0jc), AVForums (https://loom.ly/w-Jo4JI), HiFi Pig (https://loom.ly/W66UMl0) and Darko.Audio (https://loom.ly/TfcgmEw) have all been quick to cover Rotel’s return to the passive speaker market.
And there’s plenty to get excited about.
The Amora 5 is a compact two-way standmount featuring a 25mm silk-dome tweeter and 165mm woven-fibre composite mid/bass driver, brought together with a precision-tuned 2.5kHz crossover. A rigid MDF cabinet and rear reflex port help deliver a claimed 48Hz–28kHz frequency response, while Rotel has focused on low distortion, accurate reproduction and a wide, open stereo image.
Available in Matte Black or Matte White, the Amora 5 is designed to pair beautifully with Rotel electronics, while also fitting naturally into other high-quality hi-fi systems.
£999 per pair.
Rotel is back in the speaker game. And it looks like the hi-fi world has noticed.
