Adcom Amps & Pres


Is there anyone else out there that thinks that Adcom amps offer quite a bit of bang for the buck? I alternate driving my Maggie MG IIIs with a pair of 565 monoblocks, or the newer MOSFET 5802 both of which I picked up quite reasonably.I never seem to run out of currant and I'm a SPL junkie and am pretty happy both ways. I also alternate between the 565 and 750 Pres. (definate edge to the 750) Don't see much in the way of feedback on this Companies products??? I've auditioned the Big boys in compairison and am left wondering how much better they really sound givin the gargaintioun price differance. BTW Jazz is my game. Thanx

I had a GFA-5500 and ran flawlessly for years. I never had power hungry speakers though. Now, I have 2 Adcom amps in my car stereo, and they are awesome..and I had McIntosh car amps just before them.
I used Adcom amps for many years, usually in biamp systems where amplifier cost (particularly for multichannel) can really get out of hand. "Bang for the buck" really sums it up. The only problem I ever had was a blown power supply fuse (internal) caused by my stupidity in shorting out the amp with some homemade cables. Replaced the fuse and everything was OK.

Now I am using CarverPro ZR1600 amps. They have even more bang for fewer bucks, and sound great.
Thanks for the responses! I'm also curious as to how others feel about the sound of the newer MOSFET Adcom amps versis their older powerplants such as the 565 mono blocks?
Adcom is good. Krell is a tad more forgiving in the treble, 'tho. So I guess that is some of what you pay for with the big boys? YMMV.
