Adcom GFA 565

I have owned a pair of these monsters since 1990. I run them with an Adcom GFP 555II and 4 Klipsch La Scalas, I have set 1 Klipsch on fire, (wasn't used to their extreme power), rocked out dance halls and blasted my basements for many years.

My neighbors hate them. My cat fears them. My girlfriend doesn't understand them. My roommates love them. For pure go-screw-yourself power, they can't be beat and yet they manage to pull it off without compromising quality, musicality or transparency....

I'm afraid that I can't do one of those reviews where I compare these amplifiers to ones costing two and three times as much, just because I haven't heard those, yet. But, I certainly can favorably comment on these amplifiers.

This is a review of the 585 limtied edition.Basically the equal to a pair of 565 monoblocks.My first experience with some Adcom 5000 series weren't that great.They were grainy and sounded harsh.But the 500 series Adcoms have changed the way I look at...

I've been using a single 565 as my subwoofer amplifier now for almost a year.
