Our take on the brand
The DVA M750 monoblock power amplifier is a stunningly musical high-fidelity amplifier that is designed to accurately preserve all of the energy of a live listening experience.
Product Strengths
- Impressive clarity, tighter bass, and more pinpoint accuracy of instruments in the soundstage compared to the SET 600
- Great dynamic range, definition, and transparency, while maintaining the nuances and details of the original music recording
- Designed to run cooler and last longer
- Relative bargain for its performance level
- Always sounded musical, a presentation which engaged the listener with music rather than calling attention to the gear
Product Considerations
- A pair of amplifiers can provide enough power to damage almost any speaker system if carelessly used
- Tone and timbre were not as rich and voluptuous as the reviewer tends to prefer, there seemed to be less meat on the bone
- One of the five-way speaker binding posts spun when tightening spades, but there were no electrical or other performance issues from that
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Compared to Audio by Van Alstine SET 600, the DVA M750 has more power, a quieter presence, more clarity, tighter bass, and even more pinpoint accuracy of instruments in the soundstage
- Compared to Pass Labs XA30.8, the M750s are slightly more intense sounding
Takeaway: The DVA M750 Monoblock is a powerful amplifier with finesse and a large, quiet soundstage presented with exceptional clarity. It delivers a compelling and engaging musical experience.

Our take on the brand
Enormous power at an affordable price is what this amp is all about. A pure class A/B power unit, driven in parallel to deliver 450 watts/channel into 8 ohms with impeccable quality. While developing the new GFA-585se, every single part was put under the microscope to create a better & upgraded version of what is already considered a great component in audio industry.
Our summary
Product Strengths
- High power output
- Great sound
- Low noise
- Connectivity options
Product Considerations
- Lack of protection circuitry
- Users should never make any changes to input or output connections while the amplifier is turned on
- Under no circumstances should the speaker terminals be short-circuited or either of the speaker terminal(s) be connected to ground
- The storage capacitors inside continue to be 'powered-up' for many minutes after it's turned off
- The Adcom GFA-585se proved to be unstable into a highly reactive load, meaning it is not recommended for use with electrostatic speakers
Takeaway: The Adcom GFA-585se provides a lot of power and great sound for the price. It's a good option for anyone looking for a high-quality amplifier.
