Title: Parasound Halo A21 - A Man's Amp
Post by: schwarcw 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 (http://parasound.com/halo/a21.php)

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.

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.

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)
