anyone here tried Parasound "New" JC-5 amp

I find the Elipsa to be rolled off on the top end some. Maybe it's showcasing more of the speaker's characteristics? What is the rest of the system?

From what I've been told the JC5 is a musical sounding amp which differs a bit from their other offerings in the Halo line, which are more neutral. It could be that you like more jolt on the top end to synergize with the Elipsa's very smooth top end. 

I my source are DSC Puccini, Kuzma TT w/ JC3+, Marantz ND8006
All Kimber Select wiring.

So an update. Been playing with Bob Robbins@MySpeakerSetup (a revised version of "Sumiko Master Setting")
OMG what a difference it made. It open up and starting to hear those synergy at the top end.
maybe all the I needed is the speaker re-positiion.  LOL

I had a chance to audition the JC5 against a Parasound A21. The amps were driving Vandersteen Quatros. Not surprisingly, the JC5 produced sound that was more articulate, intense, and palpable than the A21. Liked the JC5. I also had a chance to compare the JC5 to the Audio Research VT80 SE, which is a couple of thousand more. I thought that the Audio Research amp sounded dark compared to the JC5, and produced bass that was less articulate.

The JC-5 is essentially 2 JC-1's in a single box. The JC-1 Mono's have been discontinued. You can bridge 2 JC-5's as mono blocks and get 1000 wpc.

Sad to see no high-bias mode on the JC-5.
