Thanks Dr. Loomis. I was thinking either GFA 545 or Rotel 980bx for power amps. They are both well reviewed but it seems like there are a lot of techs out there that still support Adcom. Hard to make these calls without hearing the gear first...
Vintage Onkyo gear vs Adcom
Looking for some help on the budget upgrade path:
I currently have an Adcom GFP-565 and have been searching for a power amp to do it justice.
In the course of my research I have stumbled upon quite a few Onkyo integrateds from the late 80's--early 90's (a-8800, a-890 to name a couple) that look very appealing. I have heard the Adcom and also some Onkyo stuff from that era and they seem much closer in performance than I would have guessed.
So my question is this: should I continue to pursue a power amp for the 565 or sell it to purchase one of the high end Onkyo/Integra integrated?
Thanks
