Carver Vs. Adcom


Was wondering what opinions were on Carver vs. Adcom amps. I am planning to use either a GFA 555 or Carver TFM-35 to power Dahlquist 28s. Can't afford both amps right now, but would like one or the other.

Also, would it be true if one were to consider Adcom and Carver near the top end of the Mid-Fi class of amps?

Thanks all...

Have heard many Carver and Adcoms, and curently use a GFA6000 in my HT system. Sounds very good, and has not missed a day's service. Consider this a strong vote for Adcom, of the two.

There are other good mid-priced amps worth considering.
For under $ 500, I occasionally see some interesting gear on the Gon. Like, say Hafler, or Parasound, for example.
Occasionally even a Bryston or Threshold rears its head at a good price. Sadly, you can kiss off any chance of a used Rowland or Sim Audio Moon in that range, but you never know...
