I agree- Conrad C140 is AWESOME.. they make them in monoblock too...280w Each.. DAMN.. wonderful... not a fair comparison though. For a few grand, the Halo is the best SS you could ask for, for the money. The Arcam is only marginally better *(worth looking at for comparison).
My A51 BLEW AWAY my B&K 5125... The B&K was reference flat, but the Halo was perfect... there was something about it- makes me wanna listen and listen and listen.
For the money, the Rogue 150 monoblocks are VERY worth taking a look at.. in SS config, the JC1s are in a class of their own- a little beyond the A51.. for 5 channel though, you'll be hard pressed to find anything as good as Halo A51 without doubling price..
