Could use some amp suggestions


Hi I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for an amp. I currently have a pair of infinity kappa 8.1 speakers that really need a 300-350 watt 4 ohm amp. I was looking at a used adcom gfa-555 but would really love some other options as well. Multichannel amps would be great because I would like to add a pair of kappas to the surround but I'm not sure what I should look at...not really an audiophile as you can see. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you are a true audiophile, you should know that quality of amp is more important than power. My favorite amps are Ayre, Bat, Audio Research.

Check the archives… there’s plenty of amp reviews there from actual owners. I posted a review of a Butler multi ch amp recently. I've also put up a couple other amp reviews. Checking out mine or any other amp reviews here which are done by those people who have actually paid for them themselves seems to add something to the information being disclosed... like integrity, and honesty. Especially when you see that several months later on, they still are talking about it and it's still in their home audio system.

These might not all be similar to the ones ya see in the audio mags, and might not say all of those pro things the paid writers say, but there's little dout about them being genuine first hand self inspired articles.

Certainly an amp should be good sounding... if however, it can't control the loudspeaker, provide sufficient power to prevent clipping issues, and allow the squeaker to realize it's own potential, it matters very little if it's a great amp, as the match of amp to speaker is important on a few levels.

Loudsqueakers do have their own individual power needs. Some are easier to drive than others... for sure. one should have BOTH a quality amp and one sufficiently powered for the loudspeakers they are intended.

Also checking out the virtual systems for those speakers of your’s will show you what other folks are using to run their’s with and give you more ideas. I think sometimes, giving ideas to audiophiles is like giving matches to children. lol
You woulddn't be doing your Infinity's or yourself any favours with an Adcom amp.Test drive a Bryston,BAT,Cary,Audio Research.
