Krell vs Parasound

This is like comparing a PT boat to an aircraft carrier...

I concur.

Agree...the Krell should deliver a bigger, more defined solid soundstage, which also is more delinieated throughout the sound spectrum....and much more powerful through the upper bass, and likely more extended thru lower bass. KSA were some of Krells' most highly regarded line, and you should also find the tonality of the unit is also superior to the Parasound. In fact, i have heard say the KSA purity of tonality was not bettered until the final models of the super big FPB series (600 and 700/750 monos).

Lets see if all of us here are right in that there is a big improvement...please post! good luck and enjoy.

I have compared extensively, many times, Krell Evo-400 vs Parasound JC-1 monoblocks. Outcome emerged to be far from that simple (aircraft carrier vs PT boat ).

To my ears, overall sound picture of both in terms of comparison was closer to, say, Mercedes-Benz (Evo-400) vs Audi (JC-1). Pretty tough battle, indeed... Krell Evo-400 a bit more sofisticated, refined and relaxed, Parasound Halo JC-1 a bit more vivid and sparkling, particularly if mated with JC-2 pre.

Two great pairs of audio design, anyway.

Cannot comment older KSA vs HCA designs..
