For sale I have a Parasound Halo A21 amplifier in EXCELLENT condition.
Continuous power output:
250 watts RMS x 2 at 8 ohms
400 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms
750 watts RMS x 1 (bridged mono mode) at 8 ohms
Retail price for the A21 amp is $2300. Your cost is $1250 + shipping.
I am located in SE Wisconsin, about midway between Milwaukee, WI and Chicago, IL.
The amp will come with the original packaging materials, including both inner and outer shipping cartons and the pdf owners manual.
This particular amp has been used sparingly by me. I probably have put about 400-500 hours of use on the amp. It is in very good condition. There is a VERY light hairline-like scratch on the upper rim of the faceplate that can only be seen from up close. Additionally, because it is on the top rim of the faceplate and not on the front portion, it is simply not noticeable when viewed from any normal listening position. In fact, I did not even know the scratch was there until I decided to take it out from the equipment rack and take the photos below.
If you are reading this, you probably already know the fantastic reviews and awards bestowed upon the Parasound A21 amp. It was awarded "Best Solid-State Amplifier" by The Absolute Sound 2008/2009, as well as receiving "Editors' Choice" Award, The Absolute Sound, 2007.
Designed by John Curl, one of the most respected circuit designers of all time. Interestingly, he is also one of the men behind the design of the Grateful Dead's 'Wall of Sound' distortion-free sound system in 1974 - the largest concert sound system built at that time. The following link is an interesting interview with the man: http://www.parasound.com/pdfs/JCinterview.pdf
I have nothing but great things to say about this amp. I find it capable of presenting all the inner details and nuances of the recording, while still having very serious power and muscle. From The Absolute Sound review: "highly suitable for driving anything from power-hungry planars like Maggies to low-sensitivity acoustic suspension cones."
