New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!!
Without sharing the other amplifiers included in this evaluation I’ve given one of the other amps, as the Gryphon.No need to belittle the ones that were easily beaten by giving their names just because they couldn’t match it against the JC1’s int... 
New Parasound Halo JC1+ monoblocks just released!!!
Whatever buddy. John Curl’s best amp to date was the original Parasound Halo JC1 monos, till these even beefier Halo JC1+ monos came along. You say they "sound ok" and are "a lot of bang for buck" quite a massive understated that I and the others ...
