Parasound Halo Integrated Amplifier


Hello to all,

Still looking for Integrated Amplifier for the Focal 807W speakers.
I like NAD (C356BEE) house sound but I would like to upgrade to something better.
Does anybody have any information or opinion on Parasound Halo Integrated Amplifier.
Thank you

I' ve become a big Parasound fan after acquiring an A21, and then a P7.  Their house sound is great, a gorgeous midrange with detailed highs that aren't harsh.  It was so much better than the Emotiva and NAD stuff I had and really brought my speakers to life.

I haven't heard the Integrated, but my research on Parasound and the owner, Richard Schram, revealed a top notch company that will not put out compromised gear.  I actually considered selling my Parasound set up to fund buying the Integrated, as I probably don't use half the watts of the A21, but in the end decided the sound would probably be pretty much the same.

Hope this helps.
I demoed the Parasound integrated from Audio Advisor this summer. I did not keep it, not because it wasn't a good amp for the money, but it just wasn't to my taste. It is loaded with good features. The phono stage is quite good for an onboard phono pre.
I am familiar with the NAD sound (had a c326bee and now have an older c352 in a second system). The Parasound is clearly superior to the NAD.
I recommend trying one from Audio Advisor. They have a 30 day money back option if for any reason you aren't satisfied. Their customer service is friendly and responsive. I believe I dealt with Kaan, a good guy.
Yeah, Nad offers good bang for buck, but any Parasound Halo gear is in another league.
