GFA-555se Power Amplifier

The classic award winning amplifier design of the original GFA-555mkII has been reborn. The Adcom GFA-555 represents the most advanced thinking in audio amplifier design. It offers exceptional value and superior performance at a reasonable price. Being innovative is what keeps us going strong and achieving great things. Whether it's our iconic high current amplifiers or our cutting-edge digital processors, ADCOM components never fail to impress even the toughest crowds. As we keep pushing for better quality and performance, our components have scooped up more than 25 Product of the Year and Special Recognition awards from Audio Video International. On top of that, we've snagged 3 Diapason D’Or Awards, 7 Consumer Electronics Show Design and Engineering Awards, and we've been featured on Stereophile’s “Recommended Components” list 70+ times since 1988!

Legacy

GFA-555se power amplifier represents the pinnacle of ADCOM’s audio engineering. This Nelson Pass design broke ground when it came out in the 80’s, getting rave reviews and providing tank-like reliability at a decent price. That these audio power amplifiers are still much in demand after so much time is a strong testament to their value and durability.

Better Sound Delivery

We have worked long and hard to ensure that the GFA-555se power amplifier improves upon its original eminent version in key areas, delivering even better performance. Externally, the chassis footprint and front panel design are identical to the original. Internally, all circuitry has been upgraded to meet ETL/ETLc, FCC, LVD and CE/EMC requirements using UL approved FR-4 printed circuit boards. High performance component selections include ultra low ESR electrolytic capacitors. The result of these improvements is lower distortion, better dynamic range, improved damping factor and greater stability and separation of individual instruments on the sound stage.

 REVIEW & AWARDS

Adcom GFA-555se review - Read More

"The Adcom GFA-555se may lack a few of the circuit niceties that are now part and parcel on modern amplifier designs – such as a standby circuit, for one – but it punches so far above its weight when it comes to must-haves such as high power, low noise, low distortion, extraordinary extended frequency response and, of course, superb sound, that it deserves to be included on the ‘must-listen list’ of anyone in the market for high-quality, high-fidelity power amplification." - Australian Hi-Fi

"The mere fact that ADCOM has been making hifi for over 25 years and that the original GFA-555 was their flagship for so much of that time should be enough to put this amp on the shortlist for those in the market. A classic high power solid state design that can drive any speaker without worry and at the low end of the price range for serious hifi, this amp is a winner." - RICK SCHMIDT

"The GFA-555se offers excellent dynamic performance. One can clearly appreciate the pop or attack when a drum stick hits the snare or hear a rim shot. Low level dynamics, the quiet shifting of intensity of a voice, or the way Brad Paisley changes the force with which he plucks almost every guitar string, is apparent and enjoyable." - Zane Spensor
