Krell KAV-400xi vs. Parasound A21+P3
Stevecham< "not to mention a much better current capacity doubling down to 2 Ohms. Parasound gear is not rated at 2 Ohms. If you don't need this current capability then Parasound may well fit your needs."The current ability of the Parasound and... 
Krell KAV-400xi vs. Parasound A21+P3
I just noticed, for some reason I thought you were comparing the P3 and A23! The A21 and P3 will blow away the Krell! It's not even a contest. This will be only a slightly more expensive option. The A21 won't overheat when you dive it hard either,... 
Krell KAV-400xi vs. Parasound A21+P3
Hey, I like this question. This is an interesting situation that I've asked my self before. Honestly there really is no reason to get the Krell integrated over the Parasound combo. The Parasound combo is a standout bargain compared with the Krell ... 
Parasound Halo JC2
Ok, I've got another opinion for you. The JC-2 is awesome, and that is why I own one!(as well as the JC-1's) It really is the perfect match for the JC-1's. The JC-1's aren't your typical harsh sounding solid state amp and if they err, they err tow... 
Parasound Halo JC1s
Nice job on the JC-1's. Enjoy them! 
Totem "The One" compared to original "Model One"
Robert333's last statement is completely incorrect. "The One" over it's stablemate "Model One Signature" has quite a few changes. It has upgraded crossover components which are much more expensive yes, but they are also physically matched to each ... 
Next Upgrade to My Totem Arros Setup - Need Help
Totem storm is very powerfull, and musical. It plays deep too, even if you don't need it. Another option is the Dreamcatcher sub. It's a 6.5" driver with a 200 watt amp, and is very quick. It will fill in the bottom end musically without shaking t... 
Next Upgrade to My Totem Arros Setup - Need Help
The Totem Storm sub is pretty killer, and would integrate perfectly. I'd check it out. It's got a powered 8", and two 8" radiators. 
deciding between shanling cd3000 and cambridge 840
The Music Hall CD25.2 will get you 95% of the way for only $600. It's steroephile class B rated with excellent performance all around. It has great bass extension, plenty of detail, and looks decent. You are never going to get $1600 performance fo... 
Parasound A21 vs Parasound HCA-3500?
The A21 is very smooth, with no apparent grain as far as I can tell. "Etched" is not a word I would use to describe it at all. The HCA-3500 from what I understand improoves quite a bit when modded if done correctly. I'd go with the HCA-3500 if you... 
Parasound JC-2 character?
I'll help clear this up for you. Essentialaudio is correct with the exception that Audio Advisor is the ONLY authorized mail order vender for Parasound. They have the line because some people aren't anywhere near a dealer to be able to audition, a... 
Whats your "best of CES 2008"
Follow up to my last post. I have the Usher Tiny Dancers in my possesion for demo right now. Paired with a Parasound A21 250wpc stereo amp, JC-2 preamp, and D3 player, these speakers really are something special. They have body, and weight that yo... 
Whats your "best of CES 2008"
I heard the Tiny Dancers at C.E.S. and they rocked. I listened to pretty much all the high end brands in Vegas that were at C.E.S. and I think the Tiny Dancers award was well deserved. They need to be powered well. I'm kind of sick of people judgi... 
Movies that featured High End equipment
I've seen B+W Nautilus Monitors in lots of T.V. shows. They were on Friends for awhile in the background, but I've seen them quite a bit. 
Movies that featured High End equipment
They were Martin Logans, and they showed the stereo while the credits ran. It was in a small window though. They better have an spl of like 150 to blow womens clothes off with only 70 watts though! Also: "Ordinary People" where they try to sell a ...
