Adcom GFA-5800 Opinions

Personally I think Adcom is entry level equipment , but if you think that in your "opinion" that it sounds good, then that is all that matters.

Think that you will will be surprised when you upgrade to better equipment and really hear how the speakers should sound.

agree completely with Riley...if you like the sound don't look elsewhere, it costs a lot more.

Previous responses are dead on,if your opionion is that it sounds good and you are happy why try something else, What are your Opinions? Personaly I have used Adcom 565/555 with B&W speakers and for power/watts/bass very good but soundstage/image/treble grit left alot to be desired ,then I tried a McCormack Dna.5 , half the power and 10x,if not more, better sound to me, first listening opened up a hole can of worms , hearing what I had been missing caused me to try new preamps and source componets etc,more enjoyable listening experience and a thinner wallet, I guess you have to be careful what you wish for,Hearing what I have heard I will never go back to Adcom components, but of course this is my opinion and my ears.

I was a former owner of this amp. Unfortunately this amp did not meet my expectation. I compared it with the Sony TA-N77ES and Onkyo M-508 power amps and in my opinion they beat the Adcom amp easily. I was very disappointed with it. It had a unique sonic quality. The high frequency details seem to be missing.

Owned one for many years. I couldn't wait for it to blow up so I could replace it. Fans were noisy and had a closed sound stage. replaced with an Anthem A5, WOW what a difference!
