I know neither of these are ideal, but it's what I got, and what I'll use until I can snag a Sunfire.
Amp#1 Adcom GFA-7400. 100wpc, rated 150wpc into 4 ohms, no 2 ohm rating.
5 channels.
Amp#2 Receiver, HK 247. Rated 85wpc, no 4 ohms rating. 7 channels.
Now, both companies claim they are "high current" designs, and HK is generally considered to underrate (or, accurately rate I should say) their amplifiers.
I will obviously listen and try for myself, but my thinking is the Adcom is probably the better amp to use, and use the 247 as a pre-out. Or, use the Adcom just for the mains, and the HK for the rears or something like that.
Any advice until the Sunfire drops in my lap?
Thanks!
