What an expert to had to say about Adcom GFA-4402
Pros:Supernatural Power and Sonic Characteristics
Cons:None, Competition Ready!!
Adcom has managed to dominate the amplifier making business for quite some time now. However, the price for superb quality was far beyond what the average joe was willing to pay, until now.
You now are able to get a little taste of what Adcom dishes out and man is it fierce. This tight ball of sonic pleasure is truly a masterpiece. It sounds so sweet to the ears that they will crave more and more of its excellence.
Let's talk specs now to make my point. The GFA4402 is rated for 40w x 2 which is only 80w rms. But put it under a load and you'll hear it strut its stuff with blazing sound quality and power found in only the best of competition amps.
It is also equipped with the balanced line driver system for superior quality music reproduction. I'm talking about zero noise detection here folks. However, this version uses the standard RCA jacks instead of the 5-pin XLR input of its big brothers.
The power supply is so robust and flowing with efficiency that it rivals that of its bigger brothers. Considered to be the "workhorse" of the Adcom line of amps it produces incredible feats of brute strength. A low ohm load is no problem for this little beast as it pulls the low impedance like a "workhorse" not even breaking a sweat.
No matter how you load it, the sound quality is left untarnished. Its considered to be about the best entry level high current amp available. It also boasts twice as many drivers or components as the smaller GFA-4302.
No compromises were made with this amp and it shines with an intense brightness that no other amp in its power range can begin to touch. The price is right and the sound quality and reproduction is way beyond supernatural.
