The Electron Kinetics Eagle amps completely embarrass the 555 in the bass. As Jim noted the Bryston amps are also excellent in that regard although the ST and later amps are substantially fuller and smoother sounding in the mids and highs than their earlier amps. The Odyssey Stratos Extreme and Mono (I've never heard a Khartago) also have significantly better bass than the Adcoms. Ditto the PSE Studio IV and V. It has been awhile since I last heard a McCormack DNA 0.5, 1, 125 or 225 but with the possible exception of the 0.5 I'm fairly confident that these have better bass performance than the Adcoms. There probably are several other examples I'm not thinking of right now, the 555 and its descendents are IMO highly overrated.
