I was wondering if you Parasound guys would have any input on this combo. I'm looking for an amp that will smooth out the mids and add a little oomph to the bottom end. I have never heard a Parasound first hand and would like to know what the signature sound is. Well, you know what I mean. Any input would be helpful, thanks.

Greetings. I have Revel Studios & Parasound C2. For the amp, I have a Pass Labs X-250 connected with balanced interconnects. I have never heard the Parasound A21 with the Studios (though I had an A23 for a while driving my rear speakers). I believe that the Studios are "voiced" using Mark Levenson amps, but after some reseach & reviews, decided on the Pass amp (they are available at great prices refurbished at Pass, and with a year guarantee). I was impressed with the A23's build quality - especially for the price.
The Studios sound much better when driven by massive amps. I tried a couple of smaller amps, and never got the speed & impact in the bass I was looking for. (I never had an issue with the mids.) Now it is always 100% clear whether the bass is from bass guitar or drum.
Good luck! -
Pass labs must be some nice amps. I have only heard good things about them. Yea, the Studio's do like their power don't they. I thought the Halo might be a good choice because it does deliver 250w into 8 ohms. I'm currently using the Musical Fidelity A5 pre.Comment

My 6 month old Parasound A21+ wouldn’t turn on.
There was a loose contact in the main power board so it had to turn on and off abruptly twice.
After that it is not turning on. When the technician checked the main fuse on the back, he said it needs to be replaced.
Not sure if this... -
