Upgrading from an Adcom 555.
The Adcom is the weak link in the system, results in some unnatural brightness and hardness to the sound. Also less dimensional.
Temporarily using a Krell from my other system largely cured those problems. However I want to avoid another 150 pound heat generating (12 amps continuous draw for the Krell) monstrosity in this smaller listening environment.
Also want to limit cost to less than $4K and no tubes.
Thanks again.
