how good is the Parasound halo, & BAT components

Wayne Donnelly, in his review of Spectron Musician III (standard) made some comparison with Parasound Halo. Today, Musician III Signature Edition is way, way better then standard Musician III and if you want "iron fist" amplifier' control over the speakers AND live music representation of the best tube amplifier - you cannot find better amp then Musician III SE.
BAT600SE is also excellent amp but twice more expensive then Spectron
Good Luck

Try picking up a used Krell FPB amp. My system went from good to sounding close to a live (real) listening experience when I went from the JC-1 monoblocks to my present Krell amps. The Krells (I have) are much more liquid, detailed, better bass, and real sounding amps than the Halos were.
I enjoyed the JC-1s for the couple years I used them, and they are good (price/power/quality) buys for the money they cost. But they were outclassed by both the Ayre and Krell amps I have used since them.
The only BAT gear I have owned was the VK-31se preamp, and I liked it alot, although not as much as the Ayre, or Singlepower I have now.

Doesn't Wylie with the Speaker and Stereo Store still carry the Halo line?

Another thought, John with Musical Design / Musical Concepts in St. Peters builds some well reviewed amps. He also can mod most amps for better performance.
