Has anyone ever tried using or heard two Halo A21 amps as Monos, by using the Mono Bridge switch?
Been considering getting another A21 and doing this.

That's actually a brilliant idea, Tony. If you do this, I'd be very interested in hearing your results. Afterall, getting another A21 would beat scrapping the current one I have and getting 2 JC-1's... -
Although I don't know of anybody that does this either, I've been considering doing the same thing for my center channel for clean power purposes, instead of powering it with one channel of my A51.

I am glad you asked that question. I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if bridging will have any negative affects on the sound quality? One thing to consider though, is that the A-21 is not as good as the JC-1. From what I understand, they were designed differently. Would the Jc-1 be too much for my B&W 804s?
Aside: did you receive your vincent cd player yet? Any thoughts?Comment

Yes the Vincent S6 arrived last week. I took it out and gave a good looking over.
I'm still having work done on the rooms where the systems are going to be, so I haven't been able to set up my systems yet. Hopefully, everything will be done by late next week. Then I can set up.TonyComment

True, A21 bridged not as good as the JC-1. But I can't remember... what's a JC-1 up to in MSRP now? CHRIS

$7k a pair MSRP for the JC1s
Don't rule out the power of a brigdged A21 though...it's quite impressive. 750 watts at 8 ohms vs the JC1's 400 watts

Ah, and there would be a reason to bridge an A21 vs. a JC-1. If you couldn't afford a JC-1, but still wanted a lot of clean, well designed power to a mono channel. CHRIS

I have an A21 Halo and it seems like the imaging is always coming from the right center not fully centered. I tried to make adjustments to the gain knobs and levels in my amp but it seems the right channel is louder.
After the Amp has been on for about 30 minutes, it seems to warm up... -
I recently received my Odyssey Tempest Extreme Pre Amp and the Eastern Electric Minimax Tube CD Player.
So finally I was able to hook up my Halo A21 with a quality Pre Amp and CD Player (and the Odyssey Nightingales speakers).
Well, after burning these components in for... -
For what it's worth to you, here's a new review of the Halo A21 Amplifier.
I also want to point out that the reviewer gushes about the "low level detail " of the Halo A21. I can't remember off the top of my head who, but someone had said the A21 had poor "low... -

Hi everyone,
Has anybody had an experience driving Maggie MG3.6/R with Parasound Halo A21? I'm planning to buy a new home theater system comprising Halo A21/Maggie MG3.6/R for front and Halo A51/Maggie CCR/MG1.6s for center and surround.
I'm more to the MUSIC than MOVIE....
