Thanks Zormi but they only debate about HT .. and HT isn't in my dreams list

Just curious...Why didnt you buy a Pass amp..X250.5 would of been a better match w/existing pre amp you have,about same money ...IMO the Pass 250.5 out preforms the JC1s in everything including build/reliabilty

Hello Mission,

I don't think the Pass X250.5 ourperforms the power of two JC1 and sonically since I never listened both I can't tell you my opinions.
I didn't buy a Pass X250.5 or the better sounding X350.5 only because this relatively new X.5 serie can't be converted into 220/240 AC. Voltage
Here both cost lotsa money you can't believe (11700 euro = 18.000 $USD the X350.5) so I searched for a powerful amp for my Thiel 2.4 but easy to convert into European voltage.
The Parasound Halo JC1 is one of them! I found two preowned and I bought them.

OK,got it..IMO the 250.5 sounds better than the 350.5..Ive never owned JC1s but a couple friends have had build issues with them so that alone kept me away from any considerations..there are several Euro makers that I would think would be a better match, in your price range and 220/240...but if your already committed to the JC1....
