need an amp...

I have put together some components;

Rega RP1
Accuphase P300 preamp
Vandersteen 2CE's need cables for them also.

powering it with an Adcom 545II and need definition in the bottom end and sounds muddy to me.

budget is up to 800.00

I listen to a lot classic rock late 60's to mid 70's, some jazz and Blues.

Two things: The Vandersteen 2CE is likely not the best at bass articulation and secondly, your muddy bass problem could be largely due to the acoustic properties of your room or the speaker's placement within your room.

In my opinion, the Musical Fidelity A3, A300, A3.2 amps are very good all around performers for the money. That said, they are better in midrange and high end than in the bass, which is tight, but not pronounced. Of course this is all my humble opinion.

Good luck.

Wolf,

Is that why Classical and Country sound like crap on my "Funk Firm" turntable and Rick James integrated?

Yes. And since Rick James played with Neil Young when they were Young Canadians, he was, in fact, integrated.
