** The only thing that is " noxious " is Scott Dorseys audiophool
opinions.

Any time he can find an amp the measures well and yet sounds bad he can
make himself world famous.

No-one has yet done that - and certainly not Scott.

Alesis should sue the prick.

I'm not so sure how much these amps run, they might be easier to find
in Europe, where the OP lives.

Given the OP was looking at Alesis products, I suspect his budget is
tight, hence the Adcom suggestions.

If I can find one of these amps for under $200 and it's a lot better
than an Adcom, then I'd be very, very interested to check them out.
