I had that same adcom amp. it is to warm. it dulls over the music and blurs any image much like many tube amps do. but a great value for the money. the dma 180 is my dream amp. MIT good choice. your a soundstage and image buff huh? me to. If you get the spectral amp and have the price of admission avalon speakers are a must. they are made for each other.and MIT. Of all things try a passive preamp. there amazing! and way cheaper. cheaper yet better.For the love of god try one. please. Thanks Todd k.
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.
