Sean, I'd be interested to hear about the modifications you've made to the B&Ks. If you don't want to clutter up this thread you can email me through member lookup. I currently own a B&K AV6000II. Probably not the best but I like it. It drives a pair of Paradigm Reference Studio 60s. Don't know how it compares to Adcom or Rotel. But it is definitely better than the NAD 2400 it replaced. My one complaint is that is seems a little slow dynamically. Some of the problem was alleviated when I replaced the stock power-cord with a Custom Power Cord Company Model 11 cord.
Adcom, B&K, or Rotel?????????
I need to buy a new amp and have been think about one of the following Adcom 555/5500 or 545 100-200watts b&k 442/202 150-200watts rotel rmb 100(these are mosfet 125 watt amps from mid 1990s) I know the b&k very well and like its sound (I love good tubes but can't afford them plus it needs to work it home theater) So if anyone out there has heard the others please let me know how they sound....... email or post thanks, [email protected]
