I'm interested in any opinions or knowledge of any real differences between the "classic" line (for lack of a better term) and the new Halo amplifiers. After carefully comparing the numbers on the Parasound website, there seem to be very few differences between the specs of the A51 and the HCA-2205AT. I'd obviously take the Halo just on looks, but it had better be a big step forward for $2K more...

Good question, JRD. I've invited John Curl to join our club and participate in discussions here. I'm not sure if he'll take me up on the offer or not, but if he does, I know he can certainly answer your question better than anybody else out there.
Altus, OK, huh? Wow... being a military pilot, I've spent more time there than I care to imagine. I'll very likely be going back in a few months for another school as well. If I do, I'll say hi!

On the german distributor there is a list of differences. The A51 has more compared to the 2205 on the following points:
1) 25 watts more per channel
2) More Class A power
3) Balanced XLR inputs
4) Autosensing turn on/off
5) Ground Life
6) Bigger transformer/power supply
7) THX Ultra2 certified
This is just some of the items.
If you can read german, the check:

I havent listened to the 2205, but I know its a formidable machine. I wanted to buy new equipment and the 2205 is impossible to buy new in Holland.Comment

Obviously, the specs on the A51 are superior to the new Classic 5 channel amp. Lower distortion, more current, balanced ouputs, etc- but similar power. Does anybody use the new Classic 5250 amp and with what speakers. I am looking for a new 5 channel amp, but since the bulk of my system will be... -
Hi
I just came back from the show. Both Halo D3 and Classic D200 DVD players are on the display. The classic version should be avalaible at the end of the year and then Halo version should follow. I talked to Parasound representative. Essentially both players have the same internal parts... -
I am very interested in puchasing a five channel amp, and I have heard nothing but good things about Parasound, so I put it on my short list of manufacturers, along with B&K, Rotel, Anthem and Bryston. As of right now, I would like to purchase a good 5 channel amp, and I do not need more than 125... -
Well, I am just about to buy my second HCA-1500a. I have about $1k set aside for one of my room's amps, and I can't see going to the Halo A23, as it would be a step down. Perhaps to some, not visualy, but sonically, I can't imagine the A23 besting the 1500a, especially with Martin Logan Aerius i's....
