Parasound Halo A52+

Parasound Halo a52+ is a fine performer. I owned Parasound Halo a51, a31 and a21 amps and could not hear a difference between those and the a52+. Maybe there’s an audible difference if driving more resolving, difficult to drive speakers at higher playback levels than I listen, or listening in a very large room, but from my normal listening experience I detected no difference. For reference, I also owned a JC5 and there was sound quality improvement over those amps in terms of quieter background and more pristine sound quality, but it was a room heater in my small space. The a52+ is a fine performer and offers extremely high value when compared to its bigger brothers. 

No more “huh?”.  Voices from center channel were much more intelligible than a couple nice sounding class d amps from bel canto and wyred4sound that I used previously. Noticed immediately upon installation that my wife no longer asked “what did he/she say?” when watching movies - that’s a winner in my book! This amp drives speakers with a very natural and textured sound. Bass drive and control is also improved over class d amps mentioned above and is overall very good. A52+ is a very enjoyable amp that easily drove mid sized definitive technology and Sonus Faber speakers. 

I purchased new from an authorized dealer. No issues and in great condition.
