9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos?

I’ve purchased factory refreshed, it can be returned product because the customer didn’t like them or brand new in box overstock, or returned for defects. It depends on the retailer, what their policy is. I’d phone them directly and ask.

I’ve owned the C372, and it’s a laid back sounding unit for sure. I compared the newer C326BEE, and the sonics were superior with the 326, and I bought it as a "demo" unit, but it was brand new.

One weakness of the Golden Ears is that the tweeter unit has a narrower dispersion, according to comments I've read, but that's about the only "con" vs many "pros".

Thanks. I just purchased the JC1s factory refurbished from Audio Advisor. They come with the 5 year warranty as brand new. I know i'm doing it a little backward but i can audition these amps with numerous speakers locally.  Ive heard these amps with quite a few speakers already and feel they can be a good match with many.

Nice!  You really can't go wrong with the JC1's.

I own a pair of GE Triton Ones and the JC-1 is not too much power for them.  I am using a 160wpc power amp and it sound stupendous, I can only imagine how wonderful it will sound with 400wpc and mono blocks no less.

I will let you know when everything is up and running. I'm pretty excited. Don't tell my wife what this stuff costs. Lol. She has no clue. Does anyone think there is a better solution for 5k than Triton Ones?
