Anthem STR Power Amp vs Parasound JC5

@mike_in_nc Yes I've purchase from Crutchfield before and they are great. One of the best online dealers I've worked with. I will definitely consider them for purchase of the amp

Of course, everything is out of stock currently on Crutchfield due to chip shortages 😒

I had the the persona 7f. A local dealer had them in his main listening room for a year and I got to hear them with the str int, no dice. the separates are much better, my hegel did amazing things with the bass but put to much energy into the mids. We tried lumin and it was good if not special, a couple others also. My favorite and the reason I finally bought the persona was a Pathos Logos mk2. The persona unmasked everything they plugged into it and the str seperate was pretty cool in the way it soundstaged but the ultra tight imaging made the musicians seem like mi iatures. The pathos sweetened up the mids and gave the music a lifelike presentation.

We are a persona dealer

We also sell the anthem and parasound 

As well as hegel coda and krell

The coda and krell arereally spectacular 

With the personnas

^^^^No it won't sound warm/dry at all ! How long you had one again?

I had a pair of JC1s and an A21 for several months.  They do indeed sound dry in comparison to other amps.
