New Adcom power amps?

Have anyone had a chance to audition any of the Adcom amps? $2,399 for 450 wpc @ 8ohm sounds (no pun intended) like a good deal.

Tweeter hi fi used to really push that brand. I had the 555 amp and their best preamp, their tuner and cd player connected to Vandersteen 2ci speakers. I thought it was great until I heard the same speakers with better electronics. They certainly didn't sound like mine. I quickly dumped all the Adcom and never looked back.

Reg price was 1299 for 200wpc and it looks like 70 amps per channel max, yikes! The sale price on the Adcom.com site is almost 300 off. Hey Wolf, I think I saw one with your name on it. I sold off a halo A21 almost a year ago and have been dabbling in NAD. We’ll see what the Adcom can do.

I'll be interested in your findings. My New Year's resolution is getting a pair of relative power-hungry loudspeakers Enjoy!
