Opinion needed: Adcom GSP560

I have some more Adcom gear locally - GTP600 and GSP 560. I don't need a preamp (GTP600), but could be interested in this 3-channel amp (GSP560).

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this amp? It has built-in decoding (DD?), which I don't want... Is there any way to use this amp as a simple straight 3-channel amp without any signal decoding?

Oh, I'd be driving CS400 and R15's with this one.

Thanks!

    I would wait, and get something a little better. That Processor take the stereo, and decodes the Pro Logic part, and then amplifies it. I would wait, and look for something on Audiogon.com, or Ebay. Their have been some real good prices lately. I would look at Adcom or a Parasound 5 channel, and be done with it.
    Happy hunting

    Edit
    What are you using as a pre?
    Thanks Ben

    It's a good suggestion, but I am just experimenting with amps to see if they will make a difference with my RT1000p's and CS400. I am afraid that after I'll hook up my new Adcom amp to mains, they will overpower my center.
