Spectral Amps are very fast. I am not sure how the combo would work. I have heard the Legacy Classic, a fine speaker. I don't know what you are searching for. I have never found the Adcom to be described as "Warm" nor have I heard it sound warm in my experiences with it. If you want presence you might consider a ARC tube amp. I did hear a D90 ARC amp with the Classics and it sounded much better than the solid state Legacy amp used in the demo. At least in my opinion. I am a big proponent of ARC tube gear. It gives both excellent transient response and inner detail and it also gives presence or a live sound that solid state gear in general does not. I would certainly look into tubes if you are not familiar with them. If you are and like the presentation of solid state more then a Spectral might be a good choice. Good luck
Spectral Amps and Legacy Speakers?
I'm thinking of replacing my Adcom 555 amp, and was wondering if one of Spectral's amps--like the DMA180--would work well with my Legacy Classic speakers? My speaker cables are MIT Bi-Wires. I like my music to sound detailed, but not sterile. The Adcom has a kind-of warm sound to it. Advice would be appreciated.
