I have used this amp in a variety of configurations through the years, finding it especially versatile since it allows a bridged configuration with a nominal 175 watt output into 8 ohms. It will run all day at that output too. It’s punchy and clean, more detailed in the mids than the later MOS-FET designs, and always maintaining great control of the woofers. Note the amps in this series can all be mixed-and-matched since they all have 29dB gain, handy if you’re considering multi-amping. This is a great vintage amp, very sweet sound, no gimmicks, for a reasonable price. If you only need 50wpc, this is the ticket. My amp still seems perfect and I am NOT considering replacing the power supply caps or anything like that at this point- there may be a time, but if it sounds good it is good. Excellent steel cab, quality binding post speaker terminals- seems indestructible.Read full review

All Adcom equipment is excellent. I used this amp only for my center channel (175 watts mono at 8 ohms and .09 THD) and it does an outstanding job. The 50 watt per channel stereo could be used for the rear surround speakers and if you used 2 sets of rear speakers (8 OHM) then you could coax another 25 watts per channel out of the amp for a total of 75 watts per channel which normally would be acceptable if using efficient book shelf speakers. There is nothing I dislike about any Adcom items because they are rock solid and well built.
