Well the Rotel is highly regarded if you believe the magazine reviews...
I have to say that I couldn't see what all the fuss was about when I auditioned this along with the NAD & Marantz PM-7001
I went for the Marantz, but recommend that you listen and decide for yourself. If you have a Superfi outlet fairly local to you, they stock all three brands so you should be able to conduct an objective audition.
For what it's worth I tested with B&W 602's.
Hope this helps.
