Springbok10, I'm not sure where you're reading about issues with JC-1s, as I haven't heard a peep except for a small handful having minor issues such as a front panel light or something. One look under the hood and you'd see what I mean...these things are built like the proverbial brick outhouse with great parts and a killer circuit and layout, which enable excellent performance... Richard Schram at Parasound runs a tight ship and demands the best... The manufacturer's warranty is ten years parts and five years labor, one of the longest in the industry, which should tell you these amps are intended to stay around quite a while... Failure rates in the industry range typically two to three percent, and this tends to be true no matter how much it costs...things happen and Parasound does the best they can to turn things around quickly to the customer's full satisfaction... Sorry if this is a plug but I bought my amps as a consumer and then became a dealer, putting my money where my mouth is...there may be something better but not less than well into five figures, in my opinion...
