Adcom GFA 555 versus Rotel RMB 1095for stereo

I have the Rotel and to me it's a much better amp than the Adcom. I use it for home theater, though it might even sound better in two channel.

I really hope I didn't offend you. Honestly, I didn't see that one coming. If you read some of the other responses, these types of questions are asked very frequently; just under very different circumstances.

I have to agree with J135. There is nothing wrong with the Adcom but the Rotel is in just another league. Also, if you are just going to be using it in a 2 channel system, you can do a vertical biamp if your speakers allow. All you need is 2 sets of binding posts on the back of your speakers. Just run speaker cables from each channel of your Rotel to a set of binding posts on the speakers. That will allow you to take advantage of 4 of the 5 channels on the Rotel instead of just 2. This won't just give the speakers more power, they will sound better, as well. Just make sure that the 2 channels you use for the left channel gets the left signal from the preamp and do the same for the right.

John,

I agree that the Rotel is the way to go. I hope your health improves. Good luck my friend.

IF the speakers can be biamped?
Might shift the balance to using 4 channels of the adcom.....2 per speaker?

In the spirit of promoting civility on this site, I just wanted to state (the obvious?) that this thread illustrates how difficult it is to really understand the true reasons that some posters sometimes ask questions. It seems that some (I include myself) are always very quick to get indignant about what may seem obvious to them. Like Grandma always said: "If you don't have something nice to say...."
