Al.M Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Heard the last model with matching preamp on Kef Blades and it was one of the best sounds ever heard, beautiful control, precise detail and imaging, effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy0217 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Yep....I have a pair of A21’s, an A51 and a pair of A23’s and these things are velvet sledge hammers all with the previous designed faceplate which I reckon is a prettier design than the new generation... <Moderator Snip> Political comments removed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessandkerry Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Just like the old JC1's, the mains can be changed 115v to 230v easily by the owner via the three switches. So look out for used cheap ones on the US market. Edited January 18, 2020 by jessandkerry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wait till you see my completed Holton dual stereo monobloc. Massive and I mean massive transformer. I'm hoping it rivals any commercially produced amplifier out there. But yes these Parasounds coupe well with any Maggie speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
