ANyone heard the New Parasound Halo P5?

Agree with Runnin.

A lot of good stuff that offers excellent value will not get the play deserved usually in these parts in that such products undermine the perceived value of the more esoteric options.

My advice would be to attempt to do things right first with a brand like Parasound that many cite as high quality and good value. Then at least you will not overpay and have a reasonable benchmark and frame of reference for deciding what else might add value from there, be it more esoteric or not.

Esoteric is not necessarily bad, but usually things are esoteric for a reason, meaning the appeal will be strong with some but not for most.

This forum seems to prefer the more exotic or rare brands. Names like Nad, Parasound, Outlaw Audio, Emotiva or ATI don't seem to impress around here. Don't read too much into it, Parasound is definitely worth looking into.

This has gotten extensive reviews in Stereophile (Art Dudley) and one of the British Hi Fi mags as well. I suggest you check those reviews out.

Anybody?
