Great amp, more power than I need. I was going to keep it but but a few blunders have put me back in the hole, so this needs to go.

Classic adcom sound, tight, authoritative bass, lots of punch. This would bring some Lsis to life!

Amp is in really good shape. Face looks good, but there are a few scratches here and there on the body. Once small dent that I tried to capture in the pics.

I will ship FedEx ground, fully insured at my asking price. I will accept paypal gift, free bank transfer, or credit card payment if you cover the 3% fees. I will also accept a USPS money order, but I will wait until I receive it before I ship.

Thanks!

    I just noticed from the pics that there are some small scratches on the face and two places where it has been touched up with a sharpie. Therefore I will ship this excellent sounding amp for $165. Priced for a quick sale! Come and get her!

    Rated at 100 WPC into 8 ohms, usually measures closer to 125. 150 WPC into 4 Ohms.

    Measures 17x11x5.5 (not including binding posts). Weighs about 22 pounds.

    Link to Manual for the series 1 - http://www.adcom-usa.com/userguides/gfa-545-ug.pdf\

    Interesting set of measurements: http://www.kenrockwell.com/audio/adcom/gfa-545-ii.htm

    Wow... wish this was for sale last week as a buddy needed an amp and that's a stupid price!

    I wish I had the funds to pick it up. GLWS bud!

    The Adcom GFA-545 is a great amp. Don't let the 100 WPC figure fool you... this thing will drive LSi-15's, and others, with ease. I know; I've tried. GLWTS.

    edit... this Adcom's 100 WPC is NOT like the 100 WPC coming out of your receiver. Different animal altogether. :wink:

    This is a sweet little amp that can hold it's own if you have a AVR with preouts. If you're sitting on the fence, don't wait too long because someone else with grab it.

    Very true indeed.

    Love my GFA-545 II. Had it forever, and I don't see myself getting rid of any time soon. Superb amp for the money.

    I hope one of you two decide who's going to buy it. I just bought a adcom 535 from Paul last week to pair up with a pair of CRS
    and wouldnt mind picking this one up and comparing them to one another and either letting the one that loses the comparison go or heck just keep them both. I know Packet would want to match this up with his LSI,s that he got a while back.
