DVD Etc has named the Parasound Halo C2 processor and A51 amplifer winners of their "Top Choice Award" as one of 2003's finest products. They scored a 98 out of a 100 rating. This appears in the Jan/Feb 2004 issue on page 38, and the scoring is based on their May 2003 review of the C2 and A51.

. Just to show what kind of class this sits in compared to other fine products of somewhat similar pricing, other recipients:
Krell Showcase Amplifier and Processor, 95/100
Integra Research RDC-7 Processor, 96/100
Sunfire Ultimate Receiver, 96/100
Anthem AVM-20 Version 2.0 Processor, 95/100
Krell HTS 7.1 Processor, 96/100 ($8,000 piece of equipment)
In fact, of 73 various electronic components receiving a 95 score or higher, only 6 items received a score of 99, outscoring the Halo equipment. These 6 are all cables and such; none of them are a receiver, processor, or amplifier. So I guess the Halo units are the highest rated receiver/processors and amplifiers by DVD Etc for the year! Of course, this is completely subjective, and who could really say what the difference is between something rated a 97 or a 98? But in any case, I think this is quite a tribute to Halo equipment.
