Rotel just released 10 new products under the name of the 15 Series. Shouldn’t it be 10 Series?

Maybe not. The company says there should be additional models in early 2009. For now, the new line will have receivers, a preamp-processor, power amplifiers, and power amplifiers designed exclusively for custom-installation.

“This is Rotel’s most important intro in many years,” says Doug Henderson, Rotel’s VP of Sales & Marketing. It certainly looks like they’ve been busy. “The one thing they do not alter is our company’s commitment to musical performance above all else.”

The new products include:

RSX-1550 Home Theater Receiver: 7.1-ch., 5x100W, HDMI v1.3, Faroudja 1080p/24 Hz ($1,999)
