    PARASOUND HALO A21 vs. HCA-1500A ? Need Help!!!

    Has anyone done a comparison on the difference between the sound of these two amps? I don't have a dealer in my area but can get the HCA-1500A a lot cheaper than the Halo. The specs on the Halo are a little more powerful but the designs seem really similar on each. I didn't know if they kept roughly the same design and added a little more juice. Thanks a lot for info on either.

      Hey, Jeff, welcome to the Guide and Club Parasound! :banana:

      if you look closer and do research, you'll find that the Halo A21 has 250 watts, the 1500 has 205. The Halo models are a new design from John Curl and Parasound, not just rebadged versions of classic models. They're more powerful and refined at the same time to give you an even better sonic performance.

        I just hooked up an A21 I purchased of Audiogon to replace the main power of my Rotel 1075 amp. The A21 is a very powerful, solid amp. I am very happy with this purchase.

              Halo A21
              by urlawyer
              Thinking of replacing my old SAE 2500 (300/450 w rms at 8/4 ohm) power amp with a Parasound Halo A21 for my front channels. I have a Parasound HCL 2003 (200/300 w rms at 8/4) for my Center, and sides.

              What say you!
