Adcom GFA-565 Monoblocks - ALL The Power! - SOLD
The Adcom GFA-565 is a mono amp, the same size as a stereo chassis GFA-555. It was available in standard version for $1700/pair with unbalanced inputs. Each amp is rated at 300Wpc into 8 ohms, 450Wpc into 4 ohms, and 850Wpc into 2 ohms—a bargain, wattwise. We find the Adcom amps plain and handsome in a utilitarian way.
