    I’ve traded with Bret before. Good guy but wants a pretty penny for his turns. Better to barter with him.
    Sometimes he has much more gear than listed.

    amp or pre?

    Amp. It was powering my 3.1's. I went back to the Hafler 500 because it sounded funny. It's been a while but IIRC the caps were swollen. It's stored in a closet at the house until I can find the funds for a recap. First was a roof at my office now its the AC at the house.... I just paid off the loan for the roof when the air went out... typical life hurtles....

    I don't know why they didn't use heat sinks instead of fans. Nelson Pass clearly had no say in that as he loves good heat sink design.

    My 5503 has heat sinks, never though the about the fans, could be something to go wrong, or get noisy, down the road. @fish357 I really would like to help another Polkie out, shipping for this would be expensive possibly in the $60.00-$80.00 range and I'm purely guessing. But I'm so very busy with work right now, I don't have much free time.

    Don't let the class a bias worry you. It will sound awesome. The draw back is it creates more heat. So yes the amp will run warmer. Hence the fans. It should only be class A for lower volume.

    I'm pretty sure that Adcom is a class ab amp. Just runs pure class a for a few watts.

    I just did a little searching and it looks like it runs Class A for the first 15 watts. Then kicks into AB above that. 15 Class A watts on some efficient speakers is going to create a very nice sound.

    6 for the amp, plus shipping, and something for someone’s time would be a stretch. It would be snazzy to find something shipped for around 600 total. I’m going to want another amp for my LSiC and LSi7’s too, at some point. Was in a somewhat serious accident back in January, I’m in construction by trade, haven’t been able to do that work since the accident.
    @CH46E
    The reviews for this amp are good, also see mentions of how much power it draws, and that it is an all-or-nothing kind of deal. I don’t see a way to control gains by looking.
    I was thinking an ab amp to run cooler, less juice, and more control.
    Was fortunate enough to pick up a B&K Reference 50 from Terry. Slowly putting together a system that will sound good.
