What do you think this will do guy's?? I think if you bridge the two Adcoms (run as mono-blocks) you will be amazed at the sound your RF-7s will create. I do not think you will need (or maybe even want) the Polks in such a setup. The Polks do have a very different sound than the RF-7s and in my experince the two sounds do mix well. Also not sure if the RSW-10 would be able to "keep up" with the RF-7s in such a setup. This is just my opinion based on owning the RF-7s which are powered by two bridge Adcom GFA-555s and a couple of Polks in another room. I can not be for sure from your post if the two Adcoms both have the MUSICAL CONCEPTS mods or if only one does. If they do not then the setup I mention above might not sound so good as from what I hear the modded Adcoms have a very different sound from the stock units. If in fact one unit is modded and one is not, I would be very interested in your perception of the difference between the modded and un-modded Adcoms.

Deang Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I think if you bridge the two Adcoms (run as mono-blocks) you will be amazed at the sound your RF-7s will create. One sounds better than two bridged. Honest. If you really want to run both amps, then vertical biamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling my Mac 30's out of the mix to send to Craig I hooked up a single ST70. Since I have two of them, well, why not? Sounded worse using both in the mono mode.

My experience is that the only difference I hear when I have a single Adcom in the system vs when I have both is in the low frequency. The difference is that the bass is much more powerful...more punch with two than with one. The actual SPL of the system is not much different.

turbobusa65 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Excuse me please! since my two gfa 555's are not the same, cause one has the music concept mods, means I will have to horizontal bi-amp right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
