REAL WORLD OPINION - ADCOM 555 ii vs BRYSTON 4B


anyone have direct experience using both of these amps (preferably with the same speakers for comparison)?? Need objective opinions.

what about compared to the 3B? remember im not mentioning the ST or SST versions. only the originals. Weren't Adcoms designed by Mr. Pass?
Thanks guys. This is for a studio monitoring setup and will be running NS10's or Tannoy System 8 DMT. I currently use a Hafler DH500 on the NS10's and it has a lovely warm creamy character (like a Neve mic pre). I had borrowed a Bryston 3B for a while and that was "harsher" than the DH500, but I would say more "accurate". I would like an amp that makes me mixdown a "warmer" sound, so the Adcom sounds like it would point me in that direction since it has a tendency to be brighter. Its a tool for a job.
