The ADCOM GFA-555 is among the world's greatest audio power amplifiers of all time designed by Nelson Pass.
On Stereophile Magazine's Recommended Components list for many years.
Key specs include a wide frequency response (10Hz-20kHz ±0.25dB), high damping factor (>>800), and conservative ratings for reliable performance with demanding speakers
At 200 watts per channel, this solid state amp from the 80's offers exceptional value and superior performance at a reasonable price. Great for low impedance loads. The GFA-555 is of the smoothest, quietest, and nicest-performing amplifiers we have seen over the years.
