This GFA-5500 is a 2-channel MOSFET-based amp. I am the second owner of this unit. Except for the fact that I am the second owner, this would be a 9/10. I cannot find any scratches on this unit. Almost no dust either as this unit has been boxed for the past 8 years. I have fired it up before listing it here and it works perfectly.
Specs are as follows:

  • 200 Watts into 8 ohms
  • 350 Watts into 4 ohms
  • IM Distortion (SMPTE) @ 1watt to 200 wats into 8 ohms: < 0.05%
  • IM Distortion (SMPTE) @ 1 watt to 350 watts into 4 ohms: < 0.05%
  • IM Distortion (CCIF) @ 200 watts into 8 ohms: < 0.035%
  • IM Distortion (CCIF) @ 350 watts into 4 ohms < 0.035%
  • THD + Noise @ 200 watts into 8 ohms: 20Hz = 0.018%: 1 kHz = 0.020%; 10kHz = 0.070%; 20 kHz = 0.130%
  • Freq. Resp. @ 1 watt into 8 ohms: 10Hz to 20kHz
  • Power Bandwidth (-3dB): 3Hz to 130kHz
  • Dynamic Headroom into 4 Ohms: 1.7dB
  • Signal to Noise Ration, "A" Weighted, 200 watts into 8 ohms: > 100dB
  • Gain: 29dB
  • Input Impedance: 49.9k ohms
  • Damping Factor, 20Hz to 20kHz: > 700
  • Power Consumption Continuous both Channels Driven: Quiescent = 192VA; Maximum = 1440VA; 200 watts into 8 ohms = 660VA; 350 watts into 4 ohms = 1165VA
  • Power Requirements: 115VAC-50/60Hz
  • Chassis Dimensions: 7" x 17" x 13.75"
  • Weight: 44 lbs
I have an Adcom GFA 5503 and GFA-5400 that I have used for a 5-channel home theatre since about 1999. They work great. About 8 years ago, I wanted to get this amp to replace the GFA-5400 so that I could use that for an outdoor system. However, after buying this unit from its original owner here on Audiogon, I chose a different direction and this unit has been boxed for the past 8 years -- essentially never used by me except to test it before offering it for sale here.
I am a BIG fan of these older Adcom amps. They provide a huge amount of power and they are very neutral. Frankly, I'd love to keep this unit forever, but we are moving out of the country to a destination with 225 electrical so my ability to keep using this unit is limited.
