I have a relatively old amp - but I remember the reviews and the relatively strange advertisements at the time. Parasound's first big power multichannel, the 1206 THX. So when I got the chance to buy a mint example for a very reasonable price, I jumped. It's like owning an old Mustang or any classic piece of equipment. And it's pleased from day on in HT and even more in two channel which is strange as I didn't expect such a brutish amp to be so adept at music.
And what an amp it is; it's the limit of what I can perceive as 'quality'. I can spend more on a Bryston or a Krell etc. but it won't sound any better to my ears.
I'll buy more amps but I won't buy better. Who makes 1,500w consumption, ~35kg amps? And why? Is there a need for such reserves of power?
