Lively, fast & open sounding integrated under 3k?
Yes, when JC1 is switched into high bias mode, it becomes very warm.Not to me they become invisible like the speakers have left the room, and the music just washes over you in a 3D sound stage, that you swear you can get up and walk into. And I've built many, some very big ones over the last 30 years, even a self contained 120w-8ohm pure class-A water cooled one that could double down to 2ohm, that was two man lift, the size of a coffee table. |
zuio OP +1 They MF sound, are even more cooler, etched, than the JC1’s in low bias mode. Never like them, definitely a MF house sound (very high gain used?), even their old little A1, A100 so called "Class-A’s" had the same sound, which btw were lucky to be measured to be even 10w of Class-A https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/zPkAAOSwvbZeiOjN/s-l1600.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/12/08/0a/12080aff826bd67d14bac6c74bd9b4b4.jpg Cheers George |

It must be a personal taste thing. While I can appreciate the Parasound stuff and the Halo have an incredibly clean midrange, they just do not have the high frequency extension that other amps do. |

As they sure are not rolled off as far as frequency bandwidth goes. Parasound: About the same StereophileCheers George |
