The 555 was nearly unlistenable, in stock form.

the power supply was undersized, the grounding buss bars were chrome plated steel. I would pass on any of the earlier versions.

for similar money the later versions are better. Have modded a few 5400s. they were much better than the modded 555s.

have not heard the 5300 or 535....so can't comment on those.

Don't forget the passive parts can have a big effect on soncis as well as the active components.

For similar money, thought the Parasound series was usually better sonically.
