Re: Follow-up on the Audiosource 7T amp

Just to comment on powering your 2.7's because I also have a pair. Dump the Adcom.

When I bought the 2.7's, I first powered them with an Adcom GFA-5500. I loved the bass slam the amp gave, but it was really harsh in the highs. I ended up sending the Adcom to Stan Warren to have him modify it. In the meantime, I bought a Sunfire Stereo Amp (the standard 300w/ch one). It was so much smoother than the Adcom, it was unreal. The only thing the Adcom did better was the last bit of bass slam. When I got the Adcom back from Stan Warren it was better, but still not near the Sunfire so it was sold.

I think you would be shocked at how much better the 2.7's would sound with a better amp behind them. You can find some great amps for under $1000 used, things like the Hafler 9500 series, Sunfire Stereo Amp, Conrad Johnson MF200, etc..
