How do Adcom power amps sound?



Hi,

My system is : PSB Stratus Mini, Cambrdige AZUR 540a and a Toshiba 3950 ( unmodded) in a 20x20 room with the speakers placed about 6 feet apart and mostly listened to in the close range.

If you arent familiar with my speakers they are a pretty tough load, 4ohm at 86db.

My amp only puts out 40-50 watts into 8ohm and 65 into 4ohm, as you can tell its having trouble powering my speakers, so im considering buying a power amp for them.

Im on a pretty tight budget , and the Adcom power amps seem to be priced right, so im considering something like the GFA-555 ( 200 wpc 8ohm and 325ohm).

Does anyone have any experiance with this unit, or similiar Adcom units? How do they sound, would it be an upgrade, power and quality wise over my current cambridge amp?

Id probabaly use the cambrdige as a pre- amp untill i can afford something better.

I have the Adcom 5802 with the Stan Warren mods.
DaltonLanny your right what you said.
But with the mods, the bass becomes fast and tight.
