sandy - I'm glad you're staying onboard. Anemic bass is almost always caused by power limits of the amp. The JC5 is a monster, by a legendary designer. Sounds like we should add it to "the list", yes?

I know John Ellison over on audio asylum uses the parasound A21 with his 3.7s.  It's a really powerful amp for $2,500.

Thank You for the prelim report on the JC5.  The manufacturer specs look incredible to state the least.  No doubt that this power amp will become a modern classic.  A few years ago I spent some time w/ the HCA-3500 and it is a beast as well.
Looking forward to more reports as you massage this amp into your system/room.  Happy Listening!

yes, your are correct about John. I believe that in the beginning, he used the Parasound integrated amp,  then graduated into separates. 

Happy Listening!

Good to see you. Your Son will be a lucky soul someday for inheriting your system.  Hope you are well and ready for the Fall season.
Happy Listening!
