Parasound JC1 or Spectron Musician 3 se


For Innersound Kaya. I'm using a Parasound A21 now but would like more power. I've listened to Innersound kilowatt monos on my speakers and didn't like the combo. The highs were to hot.

I'm sorry but I don't know Innersound products , but I have the JC1s and I'm totally satisfied about their performances on my Thiel 2.4
Hello,

Wayne Donnelly, reviewer from EnjoyTheMusic.com,some years ago compared early Musician III (standard) to JC1. You can find his e-mail from their web site and ask his opinion.

I perosnally believe that while Parasound JC1 is good product its not a match for current Spectron amplifiers

All The Best,

I have listened extensively to the JC1s and relative to other ampplifiers of their class I am experienced with they are top shelf.
I've owned my 5-driver, 3-way, sealed box, dynamic driver speakers for 18 years. During that time I've owned or auditioned various RAM, Atmasphere, Cary, Joule Electra, VTL, ARC, Classe, Eagle, Boulder, PS Audio, RE Designs, and Threshold amps. For the past year and a half I've owned a pair of JC-1s and they provide the best overall musical presentation I've enjoyed with these speakers. If you are looking for power, driver control, and detailed musical but unfatiguing sound, the JC-1s are certainly worth an audition.

That said, without knowing anything about the efficiency or load of your speakers, it is difficult to suggest a recommendation. Plus I am not familiar with the current Spectrons.
Thanks for your responces.

There's not a lot of Kaya owners out there, so i didn't expect alot of experience with them.

My Parasound A21 drive them pretty well I just want a little more headroom.

Their impedance drops to about 2 ohms at 20k hz.

I like the sound of the A21 so the JC1s would probably be really nice. I'm just really intrigued by the spectron amps and like that they would put off less heat.

Thanks, Sean
