| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? Granny, that's nonsense. How many Wilson, Focal, B&W, Magico, etc., have you "modified"? I"m sure the first thing an owner of $30,000 speakers does is look you up for modifications. And these expensive speakers sure don't have the cheap MDF... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? Here's another question. With the lower budget build quality of Tekton's speakers( basic MDF, lower cost off-the-shelf woofers and crossover components), how far off their original sound will they drift in say 10 years. Now your typical speakers... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! Aren't these LS50 wireless speakers EQ'd, the back panel shows several EQ options. That and 230 watts per speaker (200 for the woofer, 30 for the tweeter) are going to give a certain advantage over a traditional pre amp and amplifier. But it's a... | |
| Adcom? That's something I'm sensitive to, grainy or harsh highs. I got rid of an Emotiva amp that got harsh at higher volumes and it drove me nuts because back then I was under the impression that all amps sounded the same. I also had an Onkyo receiver... | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Parasound Halo A21, runs the first 10 watts in Class A and has a full bodied sound. | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... I was going to suggest double checking both ends of speaker cables for a loose strand, but the above amazon review suggests some sort of QC issue. Too bad about that, but I'm sure every single brand has at least 2-3 out of every hundred sold have... | |
| Adcom? HIphile, thats funny! I actually did take the cover off, don’t tell Adcom, and looked it over. Those are the biggest 15000 uf caps I’ve ever seen, they were flat black and the name wasn't visible. They didn't appear to be a high end brand. As f... | |
| Adcom? Yep, Taiwan it is. I do like to support domestic manufacturing, but am a realist when it comes to electronics. How long have you had the 555ms?Last night I heard a song from Johny Cash's American recordings, just his gravelly old voice and an el... | |
| Adcom? Well, it's a 200 wpc amp that retails for $1299(currently on sale). Would you care to hazard a guess? I'll pull it out of the rack to check the back plate at some point, but I'm betting it's not the USA. | |
| Adcom? I got the 555SE today and did a quick audition only as I'm busy, but will have more time on the weekend. In short, this amp is the real deal. Dead quiet, imaging, separation of instruments and dynamic, it's the whole package. I'm running it wit... | |
| Adcom? I acquired a Sansui receiver a few years back that was 42 years old, but sold it a year a later. I could not believe how nice it sounded. The model number was 4000, and it made my Onkyo TX SR876 sound boring.Anyway, I should have the Adcom 555SE... | |
| New Adcom power amps? No, they never went out of business. They’ve been bought and sold a couple times like many other such companies, however.They are based in Arizona and when I dealt with them several years ago, Stan Brown seemed to be a key guy in customer support. | |
| Adcom? Ed, if the 555ms doesn’t have the turn on thump, then the 555se won’t either I expect. Good to know. | |
| Adcom? Thanks, kjl, too bad Adcom didn't spread the word on the cfl bulb issue. I actually communicated with them directly when I was considering whether to get the first pre replaced. As for turn on thumps, I think most of the older Adcoms did have a ... | |
| New Adcom power amps? I saw their ad in the classified section. Those big amps look pretty impressive, but I'm just running bookshelf speakers these days, and don't need all that power.I did some more checking on the GFA 555SE, and I was wrong about the maximum curren... |
