Rotel RX-800
Little is documented about the Rotel RX-800. The record shows a single equipment mention in Audio (March 1973, p.83): Rotel's "alternative," rated at 40/40 watts RMS into 8 ohms with a FET front end. The RX prefix was used across Rotel's AM/FM stereo receivers of the era, as with the later RX-1603. That suggests the RX-800 was a receiver, but the surviving reference doesn't say so outright.
No factory spec sheet, manual, or further period coverage has surfaced. Production years, original price, dimensions, and features remain unrecorded.
- Rated output: 40 W/ch RMS into 8 ohms
