mmiles Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Brand new, factory warranty, NO STRINGS ATTACHED (just like in all other previous Parasound deal postings)! Pair (2) of Parasound JC-1 monoblocks = $3,895.00 shipped. Excellent deal on a world class amp. For more information email me at: mmiles@icrinc.net or mmiles442004@yahoo.com.

Speedball Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Ok,....now who is going to step up to the plate and hook the JC's up to a pair of Klipsch? That would take a mighty brave man, could you imagine a pair of K-Horns with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 The JC-1s get great reviews.. Twenty-five watts of class A MOSFET power and four hundred total watts would sure power a great HT set-up! Half price to boot! Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'm waiting for someone to "step up" and try one of the QSC PLX pro amps. I just got done listening to mine hooked up to my son's AE-3 preamp, and the sound just left me shaking my head. Going through Partsexpress gives you 30 days to send it back if you don't like it, and the really great thing about that is you get to come back here and tell everyone how completely FOS and deaf I am -- now how can anyone possibly pass that up!

ben. Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Well, Dean, it's just that it falls under the category of "Forgone Conclusions". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 LOL. Oh well, what can I say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben. Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Actually Dean, I'd love to hear your take on some of the amplification you've had over the past 3 or 4 years if you had a month or six to relisten to the better ones. Your mindset and perspective have changed quite a bit, especially over the past year or so. It would be interesting, for sure. I tend to move a bit slower and chew on things with the stereo system. Now my bass rig, that's another story. I tend to have very quick, visceral reactions to gear changes. My bandmates could tell you. Takes me about 2 minutes to rule an amp out. The finer points are evaluated for considerably longer (up to an hour). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmiles Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Many of the mags raite it quite well as has been mentioned. Absolute Sound, for one, considers it bargain! Others say it goes toe to toe with the new McIntosh 400w monoblock for $1000 less MSRP, not to mention this slamming deal of the century... There was one mag, I'll try to find it in my bathroom basket, that said it (JC-1) even gave the HALCRO monoblocks a run for thier money. That folks is pretty high praise.

mmiles Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 I forgot one very important "footnote". The deal has to be done by month end NO EXCEPTIONS. My bad... Regards, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 The QSC's or Crown seem interesting for sure....the price is affordable compared to other a similar powered amps. They are almost so affordable it would be fun to try just for the heck of it. Not having RCA jacks throws me off......they must make some kind of converter for the connections to allow use of my Denon #2900. Jc's & Klipsch would be like a jet engine on a minivan.

imperfectcircle25 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Why on earth would you need 400 watts with a pair of Khorns?? Thats a little ridiculous..lol. For some reason Ive always found lower powered SS amps to sound better than higher powered ones. Im not sure why this is. May have to do with having only a single pair of output transistors or even a single one in a single ended design. Kinda like how a SE tube amp sounds better than PP. Not sure why but they just do. Ive always liked the sound of the smaller SS amps if the speakers didnt need much power like Klipsch. Anyone else feel that way?? Obviously if you have a difficult speaker load you eed the power but Im talking about speakers like Klipsch were you only need 50 watts or less.

Speedball Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I was somewhat jesting about the JC's On the other hand quite serious about the QSC and Crown. Simply put.....control. I have 2 identical recievers, a 100 watt and a 45 watt. The 100 watter sounds much better than the 45 watter, within the same system.

Deang Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Colin, you can search out all the necessary information on the net, or through the multitude of manufactures currently employing the technology. Why on earth would you need 400 watts with a pair of Khorns?? Thats a little ridiculous..lol. Well, I'm using 300 watts right now, but whose counting. I normally wouldn't even consider such a ludicrous thing. I originally bought the amp as a short term solution, but the stupid thing ended up sounding so good, and now, the extra power is just icing on the cake. Speaking of power, you'd be amazed at how quickly those K-33's just soak it up. Seems the top hat goes up in small increments, while the bass takes off in big strides. Power meters on both the QSC and Behringer tell a quite a story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 The Klipschorn can swallow up a 100 watts faster than you think, then you are out of headroom! I am running 100W to mine but my amp is very conservatively rated. It's two channel rating is 400W X 2, but I run it 4 channel at 100W X 4.

Deang Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 No, on the contrary. No perceptable distortion, so the ears are fine with it. Not good from a health perspective though, so you might do a song or two like that, and then, if you have good sense, you turn it back down. Believe it or not, a 3 to 10 wpc amp sounds much louder at a 100db than my system does at those levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Dean, That last sentence is so true.....hard for me to explain it any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
