The zAmp is good sounding. I had 4 of those bi-amp mono-block to an Paradigm S1 in my office . I had my paradigm rep visit me and even he said that was crazy. But sounds damn good. LOL
Parasound Zamp and Kef?
I got a really good deal on Kef q350, and was originally going to run these on an Yamaha AVR-650 I had sitting in storage. Wife wasn't thrilled about having that monster in the house again. I looked around and saw the Parasound Zamp3. I love Parasound amps from my years working the home audio circuit decades ago. This fit my budget, and the power seems good enough. I don't need 100watts, because the room these are in is an 8x10 little man cave. Got a Schiit passive preamp to handle volume.
So anyway... Trying to keep below $500 since this is a 2nd system and I try never to spend more on equipment than I did on speakers. Is this a good match? I've not been into music systems for a few decades, so I'm not quite sure what all is comparable or what is way overrated/underrated.
Thanks in advanced.

Hey, if you're looking at Parasound, the 275 amp is a big step up from the Z amp, at 90 wpc and having better specs across the board. If you're ok with B stock, you can get one here for 200 off. http://https//www.safeandsoundhq.com/products/parasound-model-275-v-2-two-channel-power-amplifier-b-stock-full-warranty |
Hey @deafleper, I’m curious how the setup turned out … I’m considering a Zamp to power some Q150’s, and would love to hear how you’ve found the pairing! |
