These 40-50 year old amps (2250B circa 1976-1977) used some oil filled capacitors and they tend to fail with time. One question on your current set up, are you running both the DX's and the RE's at the same time on your Marantz? If you are I wouldn't run it for any extended periods of time at high volumes, the old circuitry may not be up to the load.ДЄs part of your 'new' endeavors you might consider recapping your Marantz, it is amazing the difference new capacitors can make. I have a pair of Soundcraftsmen pcr 800's bridged for 600 wpc. The Hafler's do offer much more in upgrades (whether the 220 or the 500) than the Soundcraftsmen's do but both will handle the type load you are posing, 2-4 ohm stable, 205 wpc-250 wpc depending on model. A couple of other amps that you may consider are Hafler's and even Soundcraftsmen's. There are a few other sites for chassisДЄdcom's are very nice amplifiers, I am currently running a 585 in my set up. Just make sure that th einside dimensions will fit the amp. You need to place the 254 in a chassis like these. The open air board still has me dumbfounded. But I still would like to be convinced I could throw a kit together. Adcoms seem to be quite popular, and when they come up you probably should jump on it. A dumb question - but are they not covered for a reason? It seems they would be a catch all for dust?ДЄlso I saw a Adcom 5400 for $200, but now I'm thinking I should probably wait (thats the hardest part) until I find a 545 or 555 for a decent price.

And providing the kit manual spells it out for you rather than assume you know what they're talking about. They kind of actually appear like there isn't a heck of alot of pieces to them and I am fairly confident I could assemble if there was no soldering involved. Hello again! I was looking at the class d's and the sds-254 grabbed my attention.

I am not saying that there is not better out there but you have to have your check book pretty full to get much better in most cases. A lot of people forget or dismiss that adcom shook the world in the 80's and 90's with what they could do for the price they charged and I remember when I was younger reading reviews of Adcom's amps embarrassing way pricier amps and I have actually heard them do it for myself and that is why I have not changed from mine in all these years.

But with the speakers you are running I am in agreance with Mr Peabody a 5500 for 555 series 2 would be a perfect affordable option for you. Mr Peabody is right that the 5500 is an awesome piece and would be perfect for you and better than the 5400, But in my opinion the 545 series two is better than the 5400 in my opinion and i have extensive experience with Adcom produicts since I used to sell them. I personally own a Adcom 545 series 2 and love it. I second the building option if a person is a good solderer and is knowledgeable with putting things together but otherwise I would hate to put the op ina position to get in over his head with a project when there are excellent amps out there within his budget. Give an old man a break, just looking for some kind of direction. I know I dont have the astute questions that all the audiophiles seem to like to pounce on. Listen, I'm a 61 year old hippie who has collected music for 50 years and still likes to crank it up once in awhile. Any HELP? There is pretty good sized speaker wire so I don't think that is it either. D'ont really want to spend more than 2-3 hundred, but I have seen some interesting power amps on ebay for that kind of money, and have no idea what I'm bidding on and what to look for.

Any recommendations on what I can do to have a better sounding system when I crank the volume. Forgive me for not having a lot of stereo savvy, but I am assuming I need more power to make the speakers sound better. I get to half volume and the sound starts to distort. But I have only an older Marantz 2250B as my tuner/power amp.

The speakers are in immaculate condition. I got a good deal on some Cerwin Vega speakers.
