Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1


I have all Parasound Halo electronics — JC1 amps, JC2 BP preamp, JC3 Phono amp, and CD1 CD player — and love them all.  Wonderful detail but plenty of bottom end.

My speakers are Usher MD2 — nice sound, respectable speakers but I’m ready to take the plunge and move up.

I’m headed to AXPONA in a few weeks and want to audition potential replacement speakers. I’d be interested to hear what speakers you’ve heard that are awesome matches for the JC1s. My room is mid-size that will accommodate decent size but not huge boxes. 

Thanks all.

Be sure to visit the Rockport speakers room even though they are a bit above your budget. Outstanding speaker. Enjoy Axpona ! 

Hi @mikempls 

I toured PS Audio and listened to the FR 30s in their listening room. They played clean even at high volume but the bass wasn’t there and the soundstage wasn’t as big as I would like. Maybe it was the room but I think you can do better at that price point. As per my earlier post give the Rockport room a listen. I think you will be glad you did.
