Thought I'd share my killer deal!
So, I was able to score an Adcom GFA 555 this morning for, get this... ...$60! While it may not be a krell or conrad johnson, I think this puppy (200 watts per channel @ 8ohm, 350 @ 4) will definately be an improvement for my fronts over the Marantz SR8000.
It is quite old, but in excellent condition. Apparantly, the reviews are raving:

That being said, is there any real risk in buying an old amp like this, other than having to replace the fuses, or do amp generally have a long lifespan?
Anyone have any experience with it? I figured in the event I don't like it, I can sell it on ebay where they are going for about 4-5 times this price!
