Adcom monster amps

Well Ive owned several adcoms. I had the 565 mono blocks and the newer 5802. The 565 will play louder but the 5802 is more accurate. Take that to the bank.

By "accurate," can you be more explicit? In what way are the 565s *less* accurate?

Any other ideas out there on adding 2- or 3-channel amplification to my set-up? Brands, models, etc. Again, I am currently running a Cambridge 540R (80 x 5 or 100 x 2, 2-ch stereo) and have an S3 series set of B&Ws - DM604s and an LCR600. Thanks, again....

I have a Adcom 5802 and with it's 300 watts into 8 ohms does a great job for me with a modwright 9.0 Se preamp and a set of Salk HT3 speakers.

The Adcom stuff will play plenty loud but you might want to rethink pairing them with a metal dome tweeter. I would look for an amp with a sweeter signature sound if it were me.

Hello I'm not sure what you want to spend. Here's another option. You could go with a module type amplifier. Like the Exodus 400. Go to the second page to see Kevin's prices for each unit. It should give you all the power should ever need. I haven't heard it but do know of an audiophile that uses it in his system..which is very nice! You can always start with two channels and upgrade up to five in the same chassis. Another cool feature is the option of powering the amplifier with batteries if the mood strikes.

That being said I've owned a few Adcoms. The 585SE was my favorite. These amplifiers are getting on the old side though. I would go for something a bit newer.

Good luck
