I think the Adcom 555II is the best choice in the old adcom range. I have used one for 15 years. More "there" than the mosfet adcoms to my ears.
If you do look for a 555II, plan at some point to have it recapped and have the resistors on the driver boards replaced ($200 or so at a service shop). I think its worth it if you can buy the amp at the right price.
If you leave it on all the time the slight hardness recedes and it sounds great. A very nice amp if you have power hungry speakers like my Platinum Trios.
