I’m looking for SOLID STATE amplifier for new to me Cornwall IV (NOT INTERESTED IN TUBES) due to current conditions thanks
I’m trying to decide between this amps
1. CLASSE CA-M600
2. PARASOUND JC5 and
3. PARASOUND JC1
I have the speakers next is amp and then Preamp follow by source
I have Cambridge Azur 851N and cocktail Audio X45 for DAC and streaming duties also has classe SSP800 and Parasound Hint6 to use as Preamp only for now
100% streaming and this set up is going to be in my garage MANCAVE

you’re right i have never been interested in tubes amps or so called 300B i maybe interested in tube preamp in future BUT not any DIY right now I have SimAudio moon W7 , Classe CA-2300 and Parasound JC5 they all sound superb but Moon took my speakers to next level but either way thanks @larryi for your recommendation |
Thanks @musicmann1 actually looks great I’m going to order a pair to try |
From my point of view passlab XA30.8 or Parasound JC5 will work fine they’re almost the same price I can get JC5 for $4400 new use passXA30.8 around $4K-$5k JC5 run 10-12 watts of class A but it has bass slam I need im going to run dual SVS SB16 with this set up so maybe I need to focus on quality watts than the bass 😌😌😉 |
Thanks everyone for great response this are some of the reason I love ❤️ Audiogon I start this thread seeking advice on Parasound and Classe Audio but those with experience of my speakers steer me to the right direction I definitely believe I need quality watts not quantity watts initially I was hoping to get SS AMP that can give dual 15 inches drivers on Cornwall big workout but I realize I have two big svs SB16 subs so I don’t really need the amp to work hard for bass response Thanks again |
