Adcom GFA 7605

[Matt34]

Found a used one for what I think is a good price. Any comments about this model or the Adcom brand in general?

What speakers are you going to match up to it?
Adcoms are nice amps with good sound.
5 X 125 @ 8 ohms
5 X 175 @ 4 ohms
Depending on your speakers it would be either good or under powered. That depends on the speakers you plan on running it with.

They run very hot, so give 'em room...

Im a pretty nit picky fella when it comes to build quality & i compare all examples of build quality against my Mcintosh & Krell gear,this statement was only to reference my comments on Adcom build quality.

I own several Adcom peices,ive been trying to put together an all white Adcom system for a few years now,i have a mint pair of GFA 565 mono's that i really like,stupid gobs of power & i love the look,build quality of the case is a little weak for the cost of the units,the covers are flimsy & the attachment screws & the holes they insert into are very poorly implemented.

That is the only faults i can find in Adcom gear,i think for the new msrp Adcom could invest a bit more attention to build.

I'm a big fan of Adcom. My first step into the higher end A/V world was the purchase of 2 GFA 555II which I had monoed into each speaker. I still have one of them and used it to drive those same speakers... some original BIC Venturis. When I got into ht, I bought the Cinema Grand, but still used my Adcom for 2 channel. It's in the closet now, but I will figure out a way to bring it to life again.

I'm still using my 5 disc Adcom changer and it still sounds and performs perfect after almost 10 years.

Found this old thread using Google to figure-out who is selling Adcom these days.

I have had my Adcom 7605 for around six years now, and I absolutely adore it. Using it to drive an entire 4ohm five speaker system. Started with a Yamaha 1400 as a pre, and currently use a Z7.

So, did you ever get it?
