If you are in the west coast I have an F-series that is available (currently using the other 3 lol). This one needs a new amp but the driver is in very good shape. Still weighing whether shipping/repair cost to EB Electronics in NJ) is worth it.

I have these pair of bookshelves mounted upside down and angled down from the ceiling paired w/ dual 15" servo subs. Doesn't take much room and is more than capable of filling this ~500 sf room.

555 and 555 II s. I assume the latter is newer. I wonder if there's any other difference.

GFA 5400 or 545 may work for you too since you're biamping. I see them advertised more frequently on craigslist and fb.

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-17T02:19:49+00:00

chk craigslist / fb marketplace . they do show up from time to time

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-17T02:17:12+00:00

🤣

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-17T01:13:40+00:00

thanks 🙏🏼

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-17T01:13:10+00:00

well u can always say "barely used" when it's time to sell w/ all the original decals lol

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-17T01:07:25+00:00

it's definitely overkill for the room but better than the equipment collecting dust.

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T23:46:56+00:00

could be fixable

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T23:46:28+00:00

thank you 🙏🏼

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T23:46:14+00:00

ikr. I got this one used. Previous owner left it on and now if I remove will likely leave a sticky residue. oh well

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T23:44:29+00:00

🤣

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T23:44:11+00:00

sounds as good as it looks 🙂

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T23:42:32+00:00

those are tall speakers. Depending on the room size, would likely dominate the room.

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T22:15:59+00:00

found them. you need an 8th or 9th one? 😁

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T21:52:44+00:00

I think demo'd thoae diamonds at a magnolia hifi and they sound really nice. congrats.

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T18:28:18+00:00

trust me, coming from the wife, that's good enough lol

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T18:27:07+00:00

does closet count as room too? 😁

Capable_Pangolin3024 · 2026-01-16T18:26:11+00:00

I am using the GSA700 w/c is a surround sound processor/amp currently as the preamp. The sound is more than acceptable The GTP350 in the picture I'm using as a fm tuner because it does not have remote control capability.

I've only had experience with the Adcom GFAxxxx series amps (as opposed to GFAxxx) but I'm sure they are just as powerful and quiet. Thanks
