jjptkd Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I would keep an eye out for a Carver AV-705x, 125x5 and THX certified. They usually pop up on eBay for around your budget shipped. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max2 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Why not splurge an extra $200 and get a warranty. http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/5000.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would advise you against the Adcom GFA-7000 series. I owned a GFA-7400 and a good friend has the GFA-7400 to this day but it is all burned up. If you read the reviews, these are considered the worst amps Adcom ever made. If I were STUCK on Adcom, I would buy a GFA-5503 amp, and would later add a GFA-5500 amp as funds allow.

edzu1234 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the info Max2, the Outlaw unit certainly looks to be a tasty option but the $400 is money pooled from equipment that I sold on Craigslist and that is my budget for the amp. I would be teaming it with a B&K Reference 30 Processor and a NAD 2600A two channel amp to complete the 7.1 system Thanks for the info, twistedcrankcammer sorry to hear about the failure rate of the 7000 series Adcoms. I guess I will look elsewhere. Edited February 17, 2015 by edzu1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edzu1234 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 CASE CLOSED------CASE CLOSED Thanks to all that gave me valuable input! I went in a different direction and bought a NAD T773 Receiver and have decided to sell the B&K Reference 30 Processor that I was going to use the 5-channel amp in conjunction with.

willland Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I went in a different direction and bought a NAD T773 Receiver Hey, I have one of those. One heavy(54 LBS)powerful receiver I must say. Very musical too. Great find. Open her up and look at the goodies inside. Two toroidal transformers and a nice large heat sink in the center. Actually I have been thinking about selling mine. I am currently using it only in 2-channel but I have my Cambridge Audio 640A v2 sitting idle that I may just put back into action. Don't forget to post some photos. Bill Edited December 3, 2015 by willland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
