Rotel A14 + Rotel CD14 MKII + Sonus Faber Lumina II
Pack content
The A14MKII is the highest level integrated amplifier in the 14 Series from Rotel. It delivers 80 watts continuous per channel in Class AB to 8 ohm speakers, powered by an oversized toroidal transformer entirely manufactured in-house and 4 high efficiency thin film storage capacitors to provide pristine acoustic performance.
A completely redesigned topology for the Digital-to-Analogue conversion circuitry includes a Texas Instruments DAC with 32-bit/384 kHz technology, accompanied by extensive tuning and hand-selection of all critical components to deliver a fuller, richer and more balanced presentation of music. Improvements to the power supply and amplifier gain stages further refine the sound with both big band orchestra and solo vocals.
The A14MKII supports all types of music sources whether analogue line, digital, PC-USB compatible MQA, aptX and AAC wirelessly via Bluetooth or even analogue phono, in this case equipped with a moving magnet capsule. Finally, the A14MKII is Roon Tested to provide the best possible listening experience in the company of Roon software.

The CD14MKII is a worthy continuation of Rotel 's renowned and award-winning tradition of CD players with significant innovations in the power supply and in the selection of components used in key circuits, the result being more accurate sound reproduction yet type of musical recordings. Thus, the critical digital-to-analog conversion is controlled with a Texas Instruments DAC with 32-bit technology, accompanied by independent power supplies that eliminate unwanted distortion. Added to all this is advanced servo control of the reading block (equipped with an extremely smooth-running transport tray), which allows sensitive sound circuits to be kept isolated, thus reducing noise and distortion.

- Weight: 6.5 kg.
Featuring a 2-way/2-speaker bass-reflex configuration, the Lumina II is the second bookshelf loudspeaker in the Lumina "collection".
Very similar to the Lumina I, it features a larger cabinet volume and the use of a 150 mm diameter midwoofer, while maintaining a compact and versatile design that is ideal for easy installation inside a bookcase or on a bookshelf, and can also be placed on a floor stand to reproduce the effects channels of a home theatre system.
As a member of the Lumina range, the Lumina II harmoniously combines luxury in materials and construction, minimalism in design and extreme naturalness in sound, complemented by a splendid versatility that allows it to perform at its best in the reproduction of both music and film soundtracks.
From an electro-acoustic point of view, the Lumina II includes one of the iconic hand-coated silk dome tweeters D.A.D. (Damped Apex Dome) used in the Sonetto range of Sonus Faber and a midwoofer equipped with a multi-fibre cone, the whole being managed by a frequency divider filter with optimised amplitude and phase response curve executed with audiophile-grade components.
Features:
- High-performance compact monitor with exceptional price/performance ratio.
- 2-way bass-reflex system/2 front-ported loudspeakers.
- 29 mm fabric dome tweeter with D.A.D. technology from Sonus Faber.
- 150 mm bass/midrange speaker with multi-fibre composite cone.
- Square enclosure to enhance the balance between form and function.
- Frequency divider filter with unique Sonus Faber topology.
- High Fidelity/Home Cinema versatility.
- Two sets of connection terminals for bi-wiring/bi-amping.
- Frequency response of 55-24,000 Hz.
- Sensitivity of 86 dB/W/m.
- Nominal impedance of 4 ohms.
- Amplification power between 30 and 150 W RMS.
- Entirely hand-built in Italy.
