Don,
I have an ADCom GFA-1 here. It's olllllldddd and doesn't have nearly the
fidelity fo the Matica 900......but thaty's probably because it's
oooollllldddddd and the caps are likely dried out. It's going to be a
science project I think and once I get it right, I'll likely use it with a
crossover to biamp my ADS 1530's down in my listening room. If I start
getting unhappy with the Matica 900, I may consider another Adcom. I like
them too. I also liked the Yamaha P2210 (I think that's what it was......the
one that John Macy reccommended), but the one I had here wasn't quite as
much to my liking as the Matica 900. It could have been for a number of
reasons having to do with the age/integrity of either/both of the amps since
theses aren't exactly spring chickens. My resources here are pretty limited
as to what I have available to demo, but I'll keep moving down this path
until I'm satisfied with *something*. I've got a KRK RP 10S powered
subwoofer here that I'm integrating into the NS10M reference scenario. This,
along with my NHT A/20/B-20 reference system ought to give me a bit more
flexibility than I have now. The NS10M's definitely do make things easier to
translate a mix to a car stereo.
