Splitter on gpa 555!pre amp output


I have had two bridged Adcom gfa 555s since 1989 into 4 speakers. Is it safe to buy a one into two splitter for the left and right outputs on my pre-amp so I could run each amp independently for each pair of speakers?

Each of the gfa 555 input impedance is 22kohm, using a splitter your preamp will see a 11kohm load.

If your preamp output impedance is 1kohm or lower it should be fine, otherwise the low frequency output will reduced. 

The pre-amp is a GFP-555. Would you think/guess this is a better way to run these two amps vs bridged in mono? I will search for the GFPs output specs. Thanks

Keep remembering stuff because its been so long since I set this up. I also have an Adcom GFS-3 speaker selector in place. It has one input that would accept only one amp. I guess if I’m really wanting to separate the two 555s the selector needs to be removed? Is a speaker selector with 2 sets of inputs a possibility?

You have a GFP-555 preamp, two GFA-555 power amp, a GFS-3 speaker selector and two pair of speakers and want to connect all these thing up?

Please tell us how you want it to be setting up, play both pair of speakers at the same time? or you want to listen to one pair of speaker at a time?

By the way, if you want to play both pair of speakers at the same time, and bridging the amp as mono blocks and connect two speakers to each mono block is NOT advisable!
