Now that the wife is happy with her new deck and patio furniture i can start re looking for a replacement amp for the ones i sold to ease some of the cost.... Im looking at 3 amps right now... going to purchase one of them....
1. NAD T973. 7 channels of 140W continuous. 200W 2 channels driven. price is going to be around $500
Need to know more about this amp is it reliable and how does it sound?
2. Adcom GFA-7605. 5 channels 125W continuous. This one is making a popping sound through the speakers... $?
What are these going for? Is it a good amp?
3. Sonance Cinema 5150. 5 channels 165W continuous. i know this company was bought by ati and they are mainly for distribution amps, but it will probably be the cheapest of the 3 coming in around $350 range...
Need some Advice....

Does the Adcom make a slight pop sound that comes through the speakers when you change channels on the tv or select different sources on the preamp or AVR? This possibly sounds like something others have addressed on forums before. Are you trying to keep the budget around $500.00?

The Adcom is on Ebay right now, it says it works but makes popping sound through the speakers when turned on, just need to know if this will cause issues down the road or if its fine? I am leaning twords the NAD just based on the reviews i have seen, just depends on what the 3 amps go for in price...Pioneer Elite VSX-82TXS

Yep, another vote for the NAD.

What's wrong with the Sonance? That thing looks like a beast! And from I can tell, it was made by ATI. And folks on other forums seem to be very pleased with theirs. I've never heard their amps but I use to own Sonance's "The Sub" and it was pretty damn good.
For the price, I don't think you can go wrong.Display: Sony 42" LCD
