| Need your recommendation on a 5 or 7 channel amp Saying Parasound is rolled off may be system dependent, I've been using the Halo series on my mains in my combined setup for years.

| Ayre KX-5 preamp with V-3 amp @dbphd I'm still loosely keeping an preamp to possibly mate to my JC5 amp , The KX 5 has always been on my wish list but would better synergy come from the JC2 ? I'll be integrating this into an existing home theater setup. | |

| Considering adding a dedicated 2 channel preamp in setup? I'm using the 8805 and a Jc5 and will curios as to what you find. The 8805 is just fine with 2/ch and find it hard to fault. I added the Jc5 (from an Halo A21) and a Gustard dac A18 last October and that really kicked things up a few notches. I'm ... | |
| Combining home theater with two channel @dbphd That is one impressive setup and the perfect way to have the best of both worlds. Sounds to me the Ayre and the JC1's are a good match? I'm still largely undecided when I add a 2/ch preamp, if I remember correctly didn't you once use the Jc2? | |
| Combining home theater with two channel @dbphd The JC5 is a stereo amp , its in essence the stereo version of the JC 1 mono blocks . | |
| Combining home theater with two channel @dbphd The JC5 has John Curl's signature on the front front face plate. | |
| Combining home theater with two channel Yup! your in for a treat with the Jc5 is just a special amp indeed!As for those who tend to down play "good sound " with a pre/processor it’s not as black and white as they say, pro’s and con’s are prevalent with both depending on listening habits... | |
