Topic says it all, can the 551 be used as a power amplifier. Not an elegant solution but then it's temporary one. I'd move it to another room later and combine it with a 506.20 for a second system. I can get one for 400 quid. (There's also a 557 selling for 750)

Can anybody comment on the 551 sound quality (vs. lets say a 556)?

Cheers

Richard
