New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition

Any more news on these? Has anyone actually heard one?

100,000 units/likely the best selling......? A testament to how deaf many people are. The Dynaco ST-70 sold over 300,000 units, because it sounded/sounds much more like music(even given it's obvious limitations). Now they sell used, for three times the original price(unaltered). Do the math with regards to which would, "likely be the best selling piece of hi-fi equipment ever made." Sounds as though Adcom was trying to resurrect the Titanic, hopefully with a smaller hole this time. But- that's just my opinion, and if you like the amp; you can have my share too.

Is every one aware that the new Adcom is not the same company it was in the '80-'90s company. It was bought out about 8 years ago and they moved from the east coast to Arizona. The new company was a digital company offered better HT processing in there products. I'm not sure how the new amps compare to the original company, but know they are made in China now.

I looked up the 555se on their sight. It states the 555 is class A. Is this correct? It may be class A, but only to a few watts before it switches to AB, I think. Does experience Adcom owners the facts?

I'm not sure how much weight "Special Edition" carries.

Wasn't there a Yugo SE at one point?

We all know how that ended.

I think the SE version adds balanced input and higher filter capacitance. They may have upper the quality on internal parts and added a toriodal transformer. All in all it may be smoother, more musical and less harsh than the original.
