New ADCOM amplifier and preamp reviews


Does anyone on this forum have experience with the new ADCOM GFA-555se amplifier and GFP-915 preamp?  Just upgraded to Monitor Audio Silver 300 speakers and have limited budget to upgrade from my old Yamaha integrated amplifier.  MA Silver 300's sound great with the Yamaha but I'm wondering if a separated amplifier and preamp will take the sound up a notch or more.  Only have a $3,000 budget at this point though.  Alternately, any suggesting on other amps & preamps which sound great with the MA Silver 300's?  Thanks everyone for considering my questions.

Great choice on the speakers! Have the earlier generation model (silver 8) and can tell you they are easy to drive, are very clear and can play LOUD.

They don't seem very picky about the front end but obviously the cleaner the better for the best sound.

Might consider a new integrated. Lots of good ones at the $3k point. NAD, Yamaha, Technics, Marantz, Music Hall, Rega, Leak, Cambridge, Arcam...

MA Silver 300's sound great with the Yamaha but I'm wondering if a separated amplifier and preamp will take the sound up a notch or more.

What model is your Yamaha integrated and how old is it? Without that info I don't think we can give you any worthy advise.
