Adcom GFA-5800 Opinions

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!

So, Eddie,are you gonna let us in on your opinions of the adcom or not?

I used to have a GFA-5500 many moons ago. It is much better than a receiver but for not a whole lot more money you can get much better. Try a Conrad Johnson SA-250 or SA-400 for starters. Night and day difference.
