kwkshift Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Hello there. I have been looking to upgrade my stereo speakers lately. I had my heart set on a set of Thiels. However, I heard a set of SP-1's yesterday and I must admit I was impressed. Are the SP-1's compatible with my GFA 555-II? I watch movies through the stereo, and I like a variety of music. From grunge/metal to country, classical to jazz. Thaks for the input. -->Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 There are several people on this forum that use Adcom with their Klipsch speakers, and like the combination. Can your Klipsch dealer let you take them home to demo them with your amp, in your environment? DD2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myram Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 I used Adcom amps for 10 years with my Klipsch speakers and it was great. With the Adcoms power it takes very little volume to get great sound from Klipsch speakers. I first used a GFA-545 with my KG4's, then went to a GFA-555 Musical Concepts mod. with my Quartets.....and both of them sounded great.

TheEAR Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 You bet they are compatible. Any good amplifier with the that can drive tough loads will be great,and the Klipsch speakers are easy loads. So any real amp will do,and with separates you will beat the performance of any reciever. I started using a Denon 3801 and then added a nice ATI 1505 and WOW.The dynamics,the detail and the grip the large amps have is unmatched by recievers,even the BIG "reference" recievers.I Compared my Denon 3801 to mt large Denon 5800 reciever,The 5800 sounds better,DUH.And then I conected the ATI 1505 to the 3801 and voila.The 3801 ples 1505 outperformed the 5800.So I added a nice 2505 to the 5800! HE HE HE Now I have THE power to grip and drive any speakers I want. To furter push the limits I tried my main music only amp(used with real High-End)the mighty and world class Krell FPB600.Guess what? LOL You may have guessed now the dynamics were HUGE,not a single trace of strain,this herculean amp can deliver a monster 1200W RMS inti 4 ohms(Dynaudio Contour 3.3)per channel(both channles driven.Talk about power. And I also tried my older Carver TFM-75 dual mono amp(like the Krell),not as powerful but still 1000W RMS both channels driven(full band with rating)4 ohms.He he again the power was with no end,the only negative the Carver is a bit more noisy,the Krell is silent. So to end this story yes the Adcom is a very good choice.beats any reciever to the ground.And my ATI amps knock recever amps out of the ring in 30 seconds or less.

kwkshift Posted September 10, 2001 Author Share Posted September 10, 2001 Wow. Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll have to demo a set in my home then. -->Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
