Krell KAV-400xi vs. Parasound A21+P3
Stevecham - OK, Halo A21 is not rated on 2 ohms...Could you tell as something about KAV-400xi behavior on 2 ohms...??? BTW, see J. Atkinson measurments is Stereophile before...In my opinion KAV-400xi' poor power supply and CDP-sized heating device... 
Parasound Halo JC2
Visit the www.htguide.com forum... Parasound specialty club included. 
Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi
Darrell - Krell KAV-400xi has a strongly compromised power supply (750VA transformer - while proclaming 400Wpc/4ohms) and cooling devices...Take a look the John Atkinson's measurments in Stereophile...http://stereophile.com/integratedamps/205krell... 
Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi
Some 15 kilos is likely more suitable to deliver fairly 100Wpc (Primare I30) than wanna-be 200Wpc (Krell KAV-400xi).200Wpc means at least healthy 22-25 kilos. Everything bellow is fake. Including that Krellito. 
Parasound Halo A21 or Rotel RB-1090?
Angela - frankly, if must, I would sell the Halo A21, perhaps because Parasound has another better model (JC-1) on the list, so Halo A21 isn't the Parasound best.From the other side, in my ears Rotel RB-1090 remains Rotel's statement amp. I cannot... 
Parasound Halo A21 or Rotel RB-1090?
I still own both.Rotel RB-1090: In my experience somewhat more sober, more neutral sounding amp than Halo - nothing to add nothing to subtract... Powerfull to drive almost anything (according to Stereophile measurments, 380/700Wpc on 8/4 ohms, pum... 
Parasound A21 vs Parasound HCA-3500?
Lanny, I am owner of A21 about three years - paired with Primare PRE30 preamp emerged very nice pair. Assuming you're searching for an amp as much as closer soundwise to the JC-1 (you used to own them, right?), I would vote for A21 - I guess the A... 
Parasound JC-1 vs Pass Labs 250.5
Could anyone specify fresh accurate USA prices of both Pass Labs X-250.5 and Parasound Halo JC-1...???Thanx! 
Which amp, preamp would match B&W 803S?
I wouldn't play some 6000USD speakers with 2000USD amplification...I would suggest Primare PRE30 preamp & Parasound Halo A21 power - a bit pricier over 2000, but definitely proved excellent match with 803S.I own this combination almost 3 years... 
Parasound JC-1 power amplifier
Rubinken, thanx. Interesting that googling SOTA failed help me... 
Parasound JC-1 power amplifier
BTW, what is the current US price for pair of JC-1..?? The last I remebered was 7000USD per pair - bur dollar dropped significantly last months... 
Parasound JC-1 power amplifier
I must ask: what does "SOTA" mean..?? Excuse me, but sometimes it's not easy to follow some threads for us with English as a second or third language... 
Ultra high resolution
I must second both Shadorne & Dcstep... Homage To Duke is still one of the best recordings ever to my ears, and long-term reference...Anybody tried Joey DeFrancesco's "Singin' And Swingin'"...??? Far the best recorded organ, ever!!! 
Revel M22 vs ProAc D Two
Friz,Saying ProAc, you're thinking strictly of Response D Two, or ProAc sound generally..??Thanx for input! 
New Marantz SA11S2?
Strangely, but your description might be suitable for huge range of gear - in terms how reviewers usually describe their impressions...You simply suggest WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM OTHERS. This is very unconfortable position to get any valid re...
