Despite quite a bit of favorable press the original 555 was fairly mediocre even when it was introduced more than 20 years ago. Any amp that old is also going to be a candidate for having the power supply caps replaced. For $750 you should be able to find a newer amp from Odyssey, McCormack, Belles or a few now orphan brands that are much better than a 555.
