The S14 is an integrated amplifier with built-in streamer from Rotel, built with an exceptional damping factor and a wide bandwidth. The S14 brings Rotel's considered engineering to a complete streaming integrated chassis.
Key specs that matter
Two single-ended inputs are provided. Input sensitivity is 200mV, with input impedance at 47,000 ohms. Output power is 80W into 8 ohms, rising to 150W into 4 ohms. Frequency response spans a wide 10Hz to 90,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is 100dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.04%. Damping factor is an exceptional 400. At 430 x 93 x 345mm and 9.15kg, the S14 maintains a manageable streaming integrated amplifier chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean amplification reflecting the exceptional 400 damping factor combined with the wide 10Hz-90kHz bandwidth, with the built-in streaming functionality covering digital sources directly.
Pairing
The built-in streaming functionality covers digital sources directly without needing a separate outboard streamer.
Alternatives
Rotel's own RAS-5000 offers a considerably more powerful streaming integrated alternative within the same broader catalogue.
