Adcom GFA 5500 used

[Jockos]

I'm thinking about buying a used adcom 5500. A seller has one on audiogon for $495. Is this a pretty good price. It say's it's in mint cond. How has the reliability of the 5500 been. Anyone with experience; comments greatly appreciated.

Thanks

5500 here has worked fine over 10 years. Price sounds decent.
5500 will heat a 250 sq/ft room so it needs good ventilation.
Weakness to me is somewhat loose low end.
Strength is very liquid grain free top.
The round push-in power button has always been a little spongy.
Not bridgeable BTW.
