If I had to get an Adcom amp, especially for those terrific 801's, either of the 555's can sound pretty good with a non-Adcom pre. A good preamp can make an 'eh' amp sound not so 'eh' at all. Consider a nice, vintage Conrad Johnson PV8 or 11, an Audio Research LS3, actually, any from either manufacturer will produce some depth and soundstaging that'll make you wonder why you wasted a minute with the GTP (and not the GFP) 750.
Adcom GFA-5800 Opinions
As a recent owner of the Adcom GFA-5800 I've developed some strong opinions of the sound. The amp is partnered with the adcom gtp-750 pre and B&W 801's. As I have not heard my respective components partnered with anything else.
I'm wondering if my "opinions" of the amp are accurate or have to do completely or in part with the partnered components.
