JC-1's were trialled with B&W 800D's running lo frequencies in a passive "bi-amp" mode, tubes on mid/lo, parasound dealer sceptical re this experiment, first cd Mary Black 'Circus' and instant cohesion and dealer and I going 'WOW', the bass more extension and control and locked in with clearer vocals to die for, an experiment gone right, the system more energised continues to astound. JC-1's running full range in home theatre makes front wall of un- strained sound, this has been a good buy!!!! -
Huh... you bi-amped a speaker, using JC-1's for part of the speaker, and tubes for the other?

I've owned my JC 1s since their introduction. I've never looked back. I'm not surprised they work well with B&Ws. I'm glad to hear you like them in both stereo and home theater application. Have fun!Comment

JC-1 follow-up
These amps continue to surprise great extension on bass and sound pressure, takes all the 'heavy' work from the tubes on mid/hi. The B&W guide suggests the crossovers are designed for passive bi-amping and recommend experimentation with different gain-matched amps, this hobby[obsession] getting even more intruiging!!!Comment

Don't even think about the Paraounds JC-1s on the 20.1s. I tried them and they were pushed to their limit. Their transformers are too small. They can't deliver enough voltage. You need a very powerful amp either a Classe... -
After several hours it has become clear to me that pairing the 20.1 with the JC1 is a very smart move for music lovers. The quest to find the bass control, passionate mids and articulate highs is realized in this combination for me.
The bass produced by the JC1 with the 20.1 is so engaging... -

Replacing the original John Curl-designed JC1, which was chosen as a “Category A Recommended Component” for 15 years by Stereophile’s editorial staff, Parasound has just introduced the JC1+ monoblock power amplifier, which was also designed... -
Is it truth that Parasound raises the price of JC1s to 7000USD per pair? Some people from audio forums around claim this is true, since confirmed by certain dealers...
How about the rest of Halo products - A21 power, particularly? -
Ok, here's my attempt at a review of my recently-upgraded "Cubicle Audio System", featuring the ASL MG Head OTL tube headphone amp, especially designed to fill my head with great sounding music while I slave away at my PC at work!
Before I get into the details of my new gear,...
