Rotels are a bit harsh so you would need them correctly paired for the warm sound. Have not heard them with a Tannoy F1 so cannot specifically say, but they sound great paired with Dali Lektor 2 and B&W (600 series) the couple of times I've heard them. Also "Guns" on this forum has JBLs paired with a Rotel and they sounded great at his place too. The couple of times I heard F1 I found them to be a bit shrill so you have to audition to be doubly sure.

if am not wrong, alliance4 had a rotel as an amp for speaker audition (may not be selling rotels..not sure)..they have F1 as well...call and check whether you can audition...

I got F1 from alliance,but cldnt see Rotel.F1 are ordered on request & I m the 1st to get F1 on req as they had stopped Tannoy sale long back.
Rotel 04 is recommended by whathifi with F1.

In Nov ,then F1 must be Black colour as they were brought wrongly for me when I asked apple colour.
When I visited second time ,Black were absent & had to listen CA amp with F4.

i suggest not the denon 500AE atleast........auditioned it for 2 days (thanks to Mr. Behram from Silo Media Pune) - seemed dead mostly. The (lowly to many) cheaper Norge 1000 pipped the denon 500AE by quite a margin. Serious lack of imaging with the denon 500AE.

Norge1000 some how doesnt match properly.The sound wasnt overall sweat.:sad: It matches better with Norge spk,even wharf.
sure. you can give the denon a try but not the 500. The 700 is way better but I have no clue on the price.

which speaker did you audition the denon with?
Amp speaker pairing is the most important part of building a system
if youve paired with mission you are probably correct ( that too if you paired with floorstanders)
Tannoy on the other hand is a lively speaker compared to others like warfedale etc and hence its pairing with a laid back amp like the denon does well

i paired the denon 500 with wharfale 9.2/9.5 and quad 12 bookshelves at the shop - the combo was nowhere close to Norge and wharf 9.2/9.5 or even quad (a lil bright here).
Was dull with missions m35 too.
Just saying overall denon 700 is a better bet and costs just a few k's over.
Yes the Rotel is very bright.. F1 played on different amps sounds good. Have tried it on Primare,Cambridge Audio and Krell. Plays excellent.
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
