Adcom, Acurus or McCormack


I am in need of a new amp. Am familiar with Adcom and was going for the 5400 or the 5500 but have come across a good deal on an Acurus A200. How do these two compare? I really want a McCormack but don't know if I can afford at this point since I am upgrading much of my old system. My System now includes Adcom GTP 450 HK 730 twin powered amp (over 20 yrs old to be replaced) Infinity RS 5 (About 11 Yrs old w/ new surrounds) Mag CDB 650 (will be replaced after amp) Thanks for your help.

Kennyt, your post has been very informative. I have read that the Acurus tends to be bright, but had not read anything about the lack of bass punch in the McCormack.I think I'll take your advice and try the Acurus, but if I run across a good deal on the McCormack i just may try it also. My Infinity's do carry a good bass response and may make up for the lack in the McCormack. Thanks
Thats an interesting thought Tbridges. I have "upgraded" that HK 730 once before when a channel went out only to find that I had taken a step backward instead of forward. Interestingly enough that product gets a high rating on audioreview
