I had a Parasound Halo for almost 2 years. It was ok, but not as great sounding as the magazines would have you think. There was a thinness in the upper mids which I never liked. I bettered it with a McIntosh MA6600 Integrated which went for 6500.00 new and I purchased mine used from Audio Classics for 3300.00. It is a night and day difference for the better and I now spend many hours a day listening to it.
Amp / Speaker combo ~5k
I am close to purchasing a Parasound Halo Integrated, to pair with either Sierra Towers or Revel F206 (I have heard the Revel but not the Sierras). Any thoughts on this combo, or perhaps other good integrated amp combinations in the 5k ballpark? This system is in a main room so for the amp I need multiple source inputs, practicality, and reliability. Thanks.
