Parasound Halo A21 - A Man's Amp
« on: October 02, 2011, 11:50:49 PM »
Unfortuneately, the time has come to part with this beauty.  Many here have heard it at my house and it sounds wonderful.  250 wpc @ 8 ohms, 400 wpc @ 4 ohms.  John Curl design, this amp is a brute.  More info Here

It's time to move on.  I am the second owner, it five years old, I have all the original packing and boxes.  Perfect condition except for age.  These sell quickly on Audiogon.  $1,100 cash only.  Local pickup in Monroeville.

Sorry to hear you've got to let her go, Carl.

Best of luck with the sale! I wish I could support you and pick it up for myself.

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

I would absolutely love to own this amp, but won't have the dough for a couple months...
Take payments?  :P

Hi Ed!

Sorry pal!  I would like to sell quickly if possible.  Also like to sell this local to avoid the whole shipping risk.  I think this will be gone by Halloween.  These things sell on Audiogon in days.  I am going to post this on the Polk Forum as a local pickup.

Hey Scott!

The Classe DR-25 that Tom had at the shop.  This is an older amp.  I had the chance to listen to it for serveral weeks at my home.  I decided that it was not going back to Tom  8)
