I currently own a 5802 and have had the oportunity to compare it against the Marsh AS400 and Cinepro3KII. I have found it to be a solid performer worth its price. The Marsh had a more halographic presentation, but the Adcom rendered the sound of piano and saxaphone better. In comparison to the Cinepro, the Cinepro seems to have a touch more clarity. I have sent the Adcom to Musical Concepts to be modified, and should have it back in about 3 weeks. If you pick up one used for about $900, then add about $900 to have it modified, then for $1800 I feel you have an amp that is still a great value.
