Parasound Halo AV Amps
A51, Surround sound power amp, 250W, 8 ohm; 400W, 4 ohm x 5 channels, $5399, "My reference amp is Parasound A51. I bought it after wanting to own it for more than 10 years. It's one of the best amps today." SOUND & VISION,
EDITOR'S CHOICE "Powerful power amp with impressive sound. Excellent value." HI-FI CHOICE, AWARDS
A31, $3599, 3 channel power amp "A31 is rated at 250W/ch, 8 ohm; 400W/ch 4 ohm, all 3 channels driven 20Hz-20k. Immediately I was struck by the treble. It revealed more detail across the soundstage + subtleties of texture. The remarkable definition continued into the midrange and bass. Bass is firm and extended. A31 is slightly less powerful than $10,000 McIntosh MC303 into 8 ohms, but more powerful into 4 ohms. Mac's treble was recessed." STEREOPHILE
