Looking for feed back on which is the better all around performer between the Adcom GFA 565 mono's and the Electron Kinetics Eagle 400 mono's.I know sound is a matter of taste but wanted opions none the less on performance good and bad.
That is a steal!!!! They can be a touch bright so all other components and cables matter. And they get really hot, but they are just great amps and can drive anything. Should be a killer system.
I really hope so this is my system in a budget. I'm running a set if B&W 808 speakers Macintosh c38 preamp and a California audio labs cd player. I was thinking of switching out the preamp if it doesn't go well the the eagle mono blocks as I love the speakers and have been looking for a set if mono blocks that will drive them.
Adcoms can be good, serviceable amps. Eagles/EKSCs can be great amps. A few years ago a friend had B&W 801s driven by a pair of EKSC 400 monos and I've never heard B&Ws sound better.
I would agree they can sound (very) slightly bright in some systems but I think that is a matter of compatibility. I would say they would be highly recommended at $1,600. For half that it would be close to robbery!
