RE: Should I consider an Adcom GFA-555?

Posted by A.Wayne on January 5, 2012 at 21:17:40:

Interesting,

You must have over driven the amp considerably
(distortion) and consistently. I have used 555 on many occassion at 2 and 1 ohm loads and have never smoked any of them. You will have to upgrade the standard fuses and of course watch temps, as they have pretty small heat sinks.

To the OP:

For 750.00 look for a pr of the 565 mono blocs, plenty powerful to drive anything. there are of course other choices than Adcom and since you are not driving a difficult load, look around ..

Regards,
