An Integrated to replace Adcom 555II & 500II ??

I want to replace my GTP-500II tuner/preamp & GFA-555II amp combo for an integrated amp. My amp is 20 yrs old and has a high frequency distortion from the right channel. Fixing it seems silly since something else can go at anytime with either unit.

I happen to LOVE the sound of this combo (warm, powerful, crisp bass). I use it with Aerial 5s and a marantz CD-67II.

I wanted to spend between $1000 - 1500. Ideally even less. Maybe even a AV receiver that would do the job - but i tried a Harmon Kardon 10 yr old av receiver and it sounded much worse.

THANKS!

Hi Manto,there is a used Plinius 9100($1,500) and four MF A5's beteen $1,100-$1,500 for sale here on Audiogon. Also, a used MF A308($1,600)

Used Simaudio i-3 SE ($1,490) might be worth considering

Manto, don't miss this. It came up today and won't last long. I have no affiliation with the seller.

Yowsa, that's a screaming deal, Mingles.

Manto, jump all over that. Seriously, Classe makes some amazing gear and power is their trademark.
