Runnin,
"If one can spend $10-15,000 on amps, more power to you. Recently in another forum a Parasound owner said he's upgrading to some super expensive brand because "after a while, you just want to move on to something better". Good for him, but whatever improvement he'll get over a high bias Class A with MOSFET/JFETs input/output stages design that the Halos offer will be subtle in most cases."
I hear what your saying; however there are some things that Parasound doesn't do well, at least in my system. I had an A21 and recently changed amplifiers. I was told several times that Parasound amps are rather flat and don't produce a "great" three dimensional soundstage(by a Parasound dealer)...I refused to believe it, but hearing is everything and now I understand. The fact is we don't know, what we don't know and until we compared different components in our own systems, we don't know how good or bad our favorite component is.
