New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!!

Those trying to get the old JC1’s cheaper may want to wait as these new ones should reduce the price of the old one used. And look at these babies do current
Old Model New Model

400 → 450 Watts @ 8Ω
800 → 850 Watts @ 4Ω
1200 → 1300 Watts @ 2Ω

Peak current: 135 → 180 amps

Afterall, I am really expecting that the new JC1+ can combine the advantages of both. But $17k is not inexpensive. Just waiting for more feedbacks.:)

The JC5 is generally more transparent and delicate in the mid/high, while the JC1s sounds a little bit "muddy". However, I am still keeping my JC1s because my Dynaudio speakers need high current and big power. The JC5 is unable to deliver enough bass on my speakers let alone control it, and the JC1s can do it much better. I think this result is reasonable for that John Curl has been improving the circuit over the years.
