I think maybe it's because of the Parasound name having too many entry level products.
They are very popular in Australia, they get snapped up s/h as soon as they are listed which is very rarely.
And they will drive anything, as they keep almost doubling they're wattage all the way to 2ohms. Giving an incredible 4,200watts into 1ohm.
And you also have that "magic" switch which gives you a real nice Class A touch to the sound.
And they have the cred of being designed by John Curl, up there with Nelson Pass.
And you guys can pick them up soooo cheap over there.
