    A52 Vs RMB1095

    I'm looking foa a multichanel power amp. (5 chanels)

    I was looking for these 2 units, as here in Portugal they cost the same.

    The Rotel has much more power, though it's not relevant in many cases.

    Haven't seen any reviews of the A52 anywere (here included).

    Does anyone demoed the A52?
    Is there any link for a review of the amp?

    How does it compare with the 1095?

    It's for use with movies 90% of the time...

    My system:
    Pioneer 757 DVD player
    Pioneer VSX-2011 Receiver (being replaced with Rotel 1068 processor, if it has audio delay)
    B&W 602 S3, LCR600
    Sonance RS1
    Rel Q150
    Rotel RCD 1072


    Thanks

      I am a new A52 owner. I have not heard the Rotel but I am very happy with the A52. I use my Yamaha Rx-V3200 as a pre/pro. The amp is very smooth and has plenty of power. It also has a very high WAF, which was an important consideration in my case.

          Hiya, Mutley! I definitely need to get backk to Portugal. I've enjoyed my times in visited Lisbon, and now that there's a Hard Rock Cafe there I need to go back again. Well, that, and I LOVE a glass of true Port.

          Back to business... I've had very good experiences with the A52's that I've seen and heard. If you go to Parasound's website, they have a web page full of Halo reviews:

          http://www.parasound.com/halonew/reviews.asp


          There's only one review for the A52 specifically, HiFi News in the UK a few months ago in August of 2003. But the A52 is a PERFECT MATCH to the two-channel A23 in every way, so you can pretty much take any opinion or experience with the A23 and apply it to the A52 as well. Specifically, here's two online reviews of the A23 that may help you out:
          http://www.audiorevolution.com/equip/halo/

          http://www.t3.co.uk/reviews/default....bsectionid=639

          I haven't heard a RMB 1095 personally, so I can't make any educated comments based on experience. But everyone knows I'm biased towards the Halo equipment over others in most circumstances.

          Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

              A52 - will i be content?
              by TimRawson
              Well, bit the bullet and ordered a A52 from local Parasound dealer.

              Went through a Rotel 1056. Great unit, but wasn't completely satisfied - wasn't best match for my taste and speakers.

              Decided go separates and hoping i can be happy for a while (frustrating to drop...

              A51 and A21 amplifiers vs. A52 and A23
              by Chris D
              This is something I'm hung up on. Of course, I would love to have 7 JC-1 mono amps, one for each home theater channel, (talking 2 rear surround speakers, just to be clear) but just don't have the funds. In choosing whether to go with the A51 and A21 for a total of 7 channels, or the A52 and A23, it's...

              I already have C2/A52 - do I have to get an A23?
              by cameronl
              hi there all, I have the C2/A52 pair driving a Quad L speaker system (21L/Center/12L).

              I've been told (and read on these forums) that I should get the A23 for driving my 21L's as it would match the best.

              Now, the A23 is much cheaper than the A21 and the 21L's do sound...

              A52 vs HCA-2205AT
              by mutley
              how do they compare with each other?

              the halo is more expensive but:

              has less power
              2205 has independent power supllies for each channel
              1,4 kva power tranformer in A52 Vs 2 Kva power transformer in the 2205

              has anyone heard them both?

              my A52 died - could it be just a fuse?
              by Eric242
              Hi there!

              Unfortunatelly my A52 amp quit his job three days ago. After watching two movies I switched off my A23 and then the A52. When I switched off the A52 not only the amp but the power for the whole part of the apartment went down. After I restored the power all lights came back...
