    Xmas Gifts

    I decided to play Santa to myself this Xmas and ordered a Halo A21 to replace my latest buggy A23 (hot one side while cold on the other). The A21 will be used on my front L&R Klipsch RF35's and my A52 will power the RC35 center and RB 3 sides and rears. I'm hoping it will arrive this coming week. Did anyone else here get new Parasound gear for Xmas? Cheers.

      Congrats to you on the A51! I'm more than pleased with my A52 so far, not a single glitch of any kind so for me it's a keeper. Enjoy!

          Yup, I got the A51 and A21 and the beasts are forces to be reckoned with.

            Right... That's why my motto is to buy the top of the line model right away. When it comes to the main speakers, I tried to settle for the MG3.6 Maggies ($4,375), but sure enough, I will be trading them in for the MG20.1 ($11,995). Fortunately my Magnepan dealer, Audio Advice in Raleigh, has a one year upgrade window that lets me trade up my speakers for the full price I paid.

            Once you're at the top, the "upgradeitis" fortunately goes away - at least for that component of the system :B

                    Well, it's a year later and I did it again! Got myself a new P3 for a Christmas present to myself. Have it paired with the A21 and Klipsch speakers in a dedicated two channel stereo setup. Am thinking about changing speakers next and plan on auditioning as many as I can over the coming weeks, I am leaning towards a small bookshelf monitor instead of towers. Anybody else add more Halo gear for Christmas? Cheers.

                        I spent most of this Xmas vacation helping one of my best buds from highschool install his new home theater. Too bad it wasn't mine.

                          Bananas for everybody for new toys. :banana: and for nicholtl, being a nice guy.

                          Nothing really new for me for Christmas... I'm hoping new Parasound models will be released any day, though.

                            Wow, talk about resurrection of an old thread! What happened in 2005? Yes, I did get the MG20.1s. However, instead of trading in the 3.6s, I traded in the CC3s that I used as surrounds in late '04. The MG3.6s now serve as surrounds.

                            As a christmas gift for myself, I ordered a 2nd Martin Logan Descent subwoofer from Brent. :T

                              Hi, Iam newcomer to the guide and this is my first post. Need little warm-up to become participative! .

                              This is a very interesting thread spreading spirit of Christmas for more than 2 years!!!. I like that .

                              Finally, I blindly jumped in to Halo bandwagon and bought Halo 21 amp just before Christmas, got it delivered on that weekend. Had good time canoodling on the new Year weekend.

                              As far as my Halo story, the saga continues with buying C2, hopefully I get it in hands sometime next week.

                              This seems to be a great forum to run to for all the problems/learning and I will do exactly that!.

                                This is something I'm hung up on. Of course, I would love to have 7 JC-1 mono amps, one for each home theater channel, (talking 2 rear surround speakers, just to be clear) but just don't have the funds. In choosing whether to go with the A51 and A21 for a total of 7 channels, or the A52 and A23, it's...

I have an ARCAM avr 300 and I would like to get more punch and nuances while I am listening movies or Music. And I thought that adding and Halo A51 or A52 would be a great update,...

                                Parasound C2 with the A52 or A51 or 1205A ???
                                by john4618
                                I'm getting a Parasound C2 and want to know which amp to use, the A51 at 250 watts RMS x 5 –or- the A52 at 125 watts RMS x 5 –or- should I just use my 1205A that I already have ???

                                I can't demo these so I have some questions:

                                1. I’m told that my 1205A is a little...

                                I currently have an A51 (w/C2) running 5.1 and I am starting to get an itch to upgrade my C2 and move to 7.1 and then eventually 9.1 down the road; so that means in-addition to the new pre/pro, I will need an another amp to drive...
