Parasound Halo a23

I had one on my then Magnepan 3.5R ribbons. It was so hot, even at idle, that I sold it

If you’re looking for a great amp in that price range check out the EVS 1200. I have a AG thread if you’re interested

I’ve played the A23 through multiple speakers and always found it to have solid, fairly well defined bass... not too punchy. 


As for temperature... mine measured about 102 degrees when pushed hard... but generally around 95 degrees. 


One final thought... the A23+ is $1500 and for that you get a few more watts and the same sound as the A23... if you can find a preowned A23 for $750 or less... buy it... and if you don’t love it you will have no problem reselling it. 

What's the difference between an A23 and A23+ other than positivity?There's one of each available in my area and my Parasound P5 is lonely.

I love Parasound, they are so smart with there tech information on their website!!https://parasound.com/a23+.php
