If you can get one at a deep discount and you need that much power, yeah, go for it. It is a good powerful amp despite the Adcom name, and it doesn't have any obvious flaws or irritating personality. Not the last word in low-level detail and resolution, but not bad at all.

If you don't need that much power, something like Marsh A200S has more resolution and transparency.

I have a GFA 5800, not the 5802 that I use as a Bass amp for some Innersound ISIS hybrid speakers. Don't know how you planned on using one. It works fine for bass, but I wouldn't use it for the ESL panels. The ADCOMs have plenty of power, but not a lot of refinement or clarity.
