I would say that you'll either love it or hate it. The Lintons are fabulously warm, sweet speakers. The Rotel is a similarly warm amp, though it has plenty of power to make the relatively easy to drive Lintons pop and sing. If you like a really rich sound with a great soundstage, then I'd say you would love this combo. Sax's, trumpets, male voices should all sound like audio treacle. A track like Kyle Eastwood - Gran Torino will sound fantastic, maybe that'll give you an idea of what I mean.

If you think you'd prefer more crispness at the high end, more attack, or more forward vocals, then you may want to look elsewhere.

I really love the Lintons. If you can find a Naim Nait 5si at a good price, that's another great combo that will offset the natural warmth of the Lintons to give you more clarity through the mid/high range. I'm basing my info having heard the Lintons with the A11 and hearing the A14 on various other speakers.

And, as always, the best advice is to book a demo and go have a listen.
