Pair of mono block Adcom GFA-565 power amps. Amps are in excellent condition. I bought these off a member last year, and they really haven't seen much use...most just TV viewing through my LSI 15's. The photo is from when I purchased them at that time (sorry, I'm lazy), but nothing has changed since. $old and I'll split the shipping to the US (or pick them up for free in Columbus, OH). I do not have the original box or manual.
Thanks.

Specs:
Signal to Noise Ratio - >106dB22
Input Impedance - 50k(Unbalanced)
Input Sensitivity - 130mV @ 1w, 2.15V @ Full Rated Power
Dynamic Headroom @ 4ohm - 1.6dB
Damping Factor @ 8ohm - >1000
Weight - 48lbs.
Dimensions - 17 x 8 1/4 x 11 ½

1.25-kVa Toroid Transformer
70,000uF Capacitance

300 Watts/8 ohms

450 Watts/4 ohms

850 Watts/2 ohms

Stable under 2 ohm

    Brought the price down a bit to be more 'competitive'.

    These are very powerful and dynamic amplifiers with enough power for just about anything I can think of. This is classic Adcom....simple circuit design, aesthetically brutal and robustly built.

    I've been in the market for something along these lines for a while for the 1.2TLs. I'd be considering them if I hadn't just had some unforseen expenses.

    are these "stock" or the ones with the musical concepts/fidelity upgrades?
    JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    How much overkill would this be on RTi10's, CSI3 and comparable rear/surrounds?

    Would you be able to SDA these since they are mono blocks?

    I hear you bro, I hear you.

    Again, mine is the immediate need issue. I need to be divesting rather than gaining.

    Im thinking I could keep these and they'd make a killer center channel or surround amp ;)

    (I kid)

    I think you can tie the negative posts together on these. Someone, maybe HI, had their rig set up like this a while back.

    Please buy these! NOW!

    I've been so close the last few days to pulling the trigger on them and really shouldn't. I've had this "Good & Evil" battle going on in my mind about them.

    Ive had the GFA-545 and 545 II...

    If this amp is 3 times the amp, Im almost afraid to plug them up to the wall.

    They should be beastly. Its the most amp 600 bucks will ever buy you. Seriously. Jump now if you want to jump.

    You can strap the negative binders together for SDA use.

    You guys duke it out and let me know. I only ask that if the buyer chooses paypal, that he/she covers the 3% fees. Thanks.

    It's called the economy..............it sucks right now and most are tightening their belts. If I had the cash I would have bought them when they were at $675. $599 is an insane price for a working pair. :)
