Remember the OP's original question "I've got an Adcom 5500 that's getting long in the tooth (15 yrs+) and starting to sound a bit on the ragged side. I'm trying to decide whether to have it serviced/modded or buy something new like the Emotiva. Would this be an improvement or a step sideways?"
The Marantz would sound some different from the Adcom, especially the 5500 which has a fairly unique sound due to the MOSFET's, but it would be new and it's a respectable amp despite the value price. So I'd say it would be more of a "sideways" as it may not be better in performance but it would be as good with a different sound. So it would depend on if the budget or wanting a sound improvement is the larger goal.
