I had the Adcom 585"LE" back in 92 powering my Klipschorns with the Adcom GTP/GCD 750 combo. I bought them at the American PX in Frankfurt with the optional fan kit(120$ then). In short, I loved that beast and I mean beast, bonus, made in the US. All Adcom from back then was top quality. But in all honesty I’d take the Parasound A21 over newer Adcom today. The older Adcom are good amps, 555, 545, 535. The 565 mono blocks were brutes!
Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se
I want to change my amps from Wyred4sound SX-1000 mono blocks to a good class A/B amp. I was thinking of the A21+, but i looked at the 585se and the Adcom compares, on paper, to the Parasound JC5. Both have plenty of power to drive my speakers and cost the same. Anyone with experience with both?
