They have it listed as a two channel amp.  A two channel amp it is not. Great price. They very well may be factory refurb units.

It is a misprint.  That one is a 5 channel amp.  They acutally have several Adcom devices on their website. 

The 2 channel is priced at $599.

Well that's not too gawd awfully surprising. Even Carver was actually sold at Circuit City for a short stint. Marantz, IIRC had some gear sold at major retailers as well.

As you can see that selling at big box stores did wonders for Carver.  I think it kills the image of having higher end equipment.  Plus they are selling at a discount which will I am sure is upsetting the sales channels.

I don't understand why they would carry something like that.
Kmart isn't the first thing that pops to mind when it comes to audio equipment.
I thought they only sold HTIB, and crappy AIO stereos

That is also what I would think.  KMart would not be were I would go to look for quality audio equipment.
