Let me start by saying I really like Adcom and the products they make; especially considering the price. I currently run to adcom amps in my home. I have heard the 565s, but never in my setup. I have run 2 555 mono before; very powerful. I currently run a 4b-st on my main system. It is just in a different league. I'm not sure about the modified Adcom and would be open minded to compare it. However, at the end of the day, you could buy a used 4b-st; be under a great warranty, be able to sell it for what you have in it. An Adcom or a mod Adcom, warranty ?? Be able to recover investment?? And the sound of the Adcom compared to the Bryston?? Was kinda a no brainer when I got my 4b-st. Good Luck......LR
I used to own Bryston 2B and Adcom 545 and the 2B smoked it in terms of power (even though the watt rating was HALF!) and power and quality of sound. I'm sure the ST is a generation ahead, at least, of the 2B. Not sure about the 565.

Adcom 5802 is a nice amp but puuullleeessse, not nearly as good as a Bryston 4B-ST. I've auditioned both and the 4B has been in my rack for a year now...
