ADCOM GFA545-II. 100 W.P.C. SOLID STATE KEN KESSLER, IN HI-FI NEWS AND RECORD REVIEW (ENGLAND) SAID IT IS THE PERFECT AMP FOR LEVINSON AND KRELL WANNABEES. SMOOTH, VERY QUIET, THE SOUND SEEMS TO EMANATE FROM A BLACK WHOLE. WILL DRIVE VIRTUALLY ANY LOAD. NOT AS SHRILL AS SOME OF ADCOMS OTHER PRODUCTS AND BETTER BUILD QUALITY THAN THER CURRENT PRODUCTS. MORE POWER THAN THE GFA535. I DRIVE VANDERSTEEN 2CE'S WITH ONE AND INTEND TO PURCHASE ANOTHER AND BI-AMP.
Best used amp for < $500?
Poor college kid here. (we all were at one time, weren't we?) I'm looking for a good 2 channel amp for possible main usage, or possible bridging for my THX sub. I'm trying to keep the cost down below $350, max $500. What are my options? (I've looked at used Rotel, Marantz, NAD, Carver, AudioSource, Adcom)
