  1. I am looking to try surround sound from my current stereo set-up. As an audiophile quality preamplifier, this is everything you need (balanced connections, phono section, inputs with and without tone controls, stepped volume) without complicated set-up and from the top line of a very well respected HiFi company. This Parasound Halo preamp will come with factory remote, manual, and box, and is in very good condition. It's a great unit, but I want to try surround sound for a change; I will also include premium XLR cables and a power cord.

    -Parasound Halo P3 Preamplifer

    6 line inputs, one input switchable to MM phono

    Relay switched direct inputs: balanced and unbalanced

    External processor send and receive loop

    Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs

    Defeatable bass and treble controls

    Enormous encapsulated toroid power transformer

    Dual layer glass epoxy circuit boards

    High resolution stereo headphone circuit

    External IR input and loop output jacks

    Two 12v triggers; 1 input and 1 loop output

    Gold-plated RCA jacks

    Remote control also operates T 3 Tunerpost-41407-14093355049972_thumb.jpgpost-41407-14093355327808_thumb.jpg

  2. I finally pulled the speakers off the walls today to look at the crossovers, and I forgot how large they are! I loose perspective with them hanging on the wall, but pulling them off the french cleats was a quick reminder. The crossovers are actually very well done, in that the freestanding input houses most of the crossover, and the wall mount input only adds two caps to raise the rolloff point of the speaker. Add to that the tweeter, mid woofers, and bass woofers are all isolated from eachother, and the Made In Denmark sticker must be real.

  3. I'd saw make me an offer, but I'd already eat quite a bit shipping it to Florida for you. :P It is a great integrated that I've been using as a preamp lately, and it just deserves more than that; and for me to buy an actual preamp.

  4. The amp works and looks great, and will come with power cord, manual, original remote, and NAD double box; never modified or repaired!

    Asking $300 shipped CONUS

  5. Good thought about the crossovers, and I'll have see how they're wired as I've only had them wall mounted; 50lbs each and with french cleats no less!

    All of the drivers are Vifa, seem to be very high quality, and they do sound great!

  6. Thanks ya'll! I will give it a try, and see how those two channels sound on my Jamo speakers. (I know they are not Klipsch, but owned under the same group... :P ) The speakers aren't bi-wireable unfortunately as the two sets of inputs are for freestanding and wall placement; two different crossovers. However, that power should allow enough headroom anyway; 800w RMS at 4ohm nominal impedance.

  7. I have been looking for a great 2-channel amp for a while, and tried a number of offerings, but finally found one that made me do a double take because I could get it at a good price. It has everything I've been looking for (high current, 2 ohm stable, high power, auto-on trigger, tested design, XLR inputs, good reviews) and seems like a great pairing with my speakers, but it has 7 channels! If this was the exact same amp only stereo, I would have no hesitation, but I feel weird having unused amp channels. Wouldn't that mean more power supply available for the two used channels?

    Anyway, it's a Sunfire TGA-7400, and I'm having a bugger of a time figuring out if I want to try it on my stereo, 4 ohm Jamo speakers...

  8. Just a reminder that I have yet to see (let alone hear) this amp's fan turn on when driving my 4 ohm speakers. Whether driving speakers or a subwoofer, you don't have to hid this amp in another room and worry about the fan noise.
