The Adcom 7500 is a superb home Theater amplifer. I purchased one and was extremely happy with it. It is well built, THX Certified, uses quality components and can drive low impedance speakers without breaking a sweat. This amp has the muscle and finesse to bring home theater to life. Lucas Films uses this amp when mixing THX sound tracks. That's as good of a recommendation as you're going to get for home theater. Is it the best amplification you can get for home theater? In a word, no. I think the Adcom 7500 does represent a very good value for your money and that you would be hard pressed to find better for less. If you're looking solely for 5.1 home theater amplification this amp is a winner. Regards; -Jerie
Adcom?
I'm concerned about some of the talk I hear on this page and other pages about Adcom products. I know they are inexpensive but are they bad? I know when people talk about louddpeakers the name Bose always gets laughed at, and for good reason. I would never own a Bose product. However, it seems that Adcom is the "Bose" of electronics. I guess what I'm curious about is the fact that Adcom almost always gets rave reviews from the press. Such quotes as "you would have to spend 3 times the price to get this kind of sound elswhere" are common. So, the question is, Are Adcom amps and pre/pros decent products for use in a high end home theater system? or are they completely useless.
