Review 1 of 5

Summary:
This is a wonderful piece of equipment. I purchased it to replace my 20 year old Kenwood integrated amp(it too was a great buy-can't remember model number though!) I purchased this amp brand new along with a used NAD pre-amp and was amazed at the sound improvement.I've heard things I never heard before.Currently using an old pair of Boston Acoustics A150MkII's-still sound great-best $500.00 speaker pair from the early 80's, but just ordered Magneplan MMG's can't wait to hear the Adcom drive those!

Strengths:
Very clear and smooth sound.

Weaknesses:
Only one set of speaker terminals.

Similar Products Used:
Old Kenwood integrated amp.

Review 2 of 5

Summary:
Nice little amp. Stacked it up against a $1000 Parasound in a dealer's showroom and neither of us could hear a difference. Color me impressed.

Review 3 of 5

Summary:
I like the sound of this amplifier,it's kind of smooth, but still very detailed.
It's only 50watts per channel at 8 ohms,
but it's enough for most applications,
only time I would like more power (and larger speakers)
would be for a home cinema system.

Buy with confidence.

Review 4 of 5

Summary:
Bought this amp for my son's college dorm.You know it's very rare you find an amp like this. First of all, separate amps in this price range are pretty hard to find. A good one is even harder. Listen to this and you've got one of these such amplifiers. Obviously not a whole lot of power, but enough to drive any speaker without working too hard. Sounds great; low noise; smooth highs; great midrange for an amp in this range. Give it a shot; it won't let you down.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
