Parasound Halo A21 + NewClassic 2125 (Mono) VS A31 for L/C/R


Hi there!

I have a question regards to powering my L/C/R - B&W CM10 S2s and CM Center 2 S2. Currently I have thee Parasound A21 powering L/R and Parasound NewClassic 2125 v.2 in bridged mono powering the Center.

While the A21 is rated at 250 watts/ch and the 2125 in bridged mono is rated at 400 watts, does this make my L/C/R way out of sync or barely noticeable? Will there be  significant difference if I bought an A31 to power all three instead? Btw, the A/V is an Anthem MRX720.

 

Thanks in advance.

I have A21 for my fronts and have a A31 coming for my center and sides. Using an old Marantz for the rears and processing.

I’ll report in. A21 added much more bass depth, dynamics, and richness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks @w123ale.

I agree with the A21, I’ve had it for over around years. I just switched to A31 for the L/C/R. The rears are powered from the Anthem receiver. I’m yet to run the room correction to recalibrate.

Mind if I jump in on this discussion to ask a few questions about Parasound? I use a NAD T758 for home theater. I believe it's 60 wpc and its plenty loud for my room when I'm watching movies. I'm looking to bypass the NAD amp when listening to 2 channel stereo and was thinking the Parasound 275 (size-wise it would fit my rack nicely) would give me more music detail than what I hear from the NAD. Powering a pair of Harbeth P3s so I don't think I need much more power than 100 wpc. Happy overall with the Parasound sound?
