Acurus A-250, Adcom GFA-555 or Audio Research


Hi. I have an opportunity to buy an Acurus A-250; Adcom GFA-555 or an Audio Research D-100B. These are of course SS amps, with the Audio Research being a late 70's model (100 wpc)& the other two a bit newer (200-250 wpc). All are priced in the $350 - $400 range. Is there a clear winner among the bunch?? Thanks. -David

Assuming you are using Klipsh, your ears will be the losers. 250 bright watts into klipsch is suicide. Spend the money on a used Sumo, Yamaha M series, Aragon or similar.
What speakers? Assuming from your alias here that you're into Klipch's, you hardly need 200 wpc unless your listening room is the size of a gymnasium.

You might want to look into the Onix SP8 tube integrated.
