Looking for an amp for my Proac 1.5's.

Hi Phil. Again, if the ARC gear is too expensive, you might want to take a look at Rogue Audio. Boy I wish I could hear what you're experiencing. Good luck.

Phil, I agree with gunbei that if you are short of funds try to audition a Rogue. Altho I own Proacs I haven't heard this combo myself, tho a side by side with a CJ MV55 through other speakers at a dealer last fall and we both agreed the R88 beat the MV55 to our ears.
Also noticed that Melos preamps are going at bargain prices here, worth considering if you don't mind a discontinued line. Good luck

I used a Cary SLI-80 Signature Integrated with Proac 2.5's. You might want to check it out.

My final selection was the Sonographe. I decided to give it a go after reading the Stereophile review and getting a good deal on one here on Audiogon. Very nice. A definite step up from the Adcom. Not as sweet as the tubes, but a very very nice compromise.
Thanks to everyone for the advice.
Phil

Naim NAP250 or NAP135,s
nothing else apart from a GOOD Phase Linear 400 will come close
