Need Help...

[thinkdifferent]

Hello Everybody,

This is my first post here on this club, I'm planning to move from Rotel to Parasound Sound... and I need your expertise and advise... I'm looking for a Good Stereo Pre/Power for my B&W 602S3's. (Later they will be upgraded to either 805's or something deserving) but for now I have to live with it... Rotel is very expensive in our part of the world... and hoping Parasound's are little cheaper here (Dealer is giving me the prices in a day or two) but the problem is, the dealer does not have anything for me to audition, so I have to take that risk of not making my ears to Judge those electronics... and needing your all guidance. I'm wanting to go in for P3 Stereo Pre Amplifier with either A21/23 Power Amplifier, I basically listen to Classical, Jazz, Female Vocals. and likes warm sound/sweet sound... I guess A21 is the one I’m leaning to. can I use other Pre with it, ... ;x(

Heya, thinkdifferent, and thanks for stopping by! :banana: You've got the right idea as to products. If you want REALLY high-end performance, Parasound is showing the JC-2 stereo pre-amp at CES this week. No reports as to price, yet, but this is supposed to be one of the best pre-amps EVER produced. The 2-channel world is really excited.

Parasound New Classic may possibly be a little less expensive than Rotel.

I would say that Parasound Halo generally is more expensive than Rotel (but you also get features not on the Rotel, like balanced XLRs).

FWIW, the JC-2 is probably around $2000. Might be a bit overkill for the A21, but a good match with a pair of JC1s
