My experience was exactly opposite! I had the Parasound with 4 different speakers I was auditioning, and in all cases I felt like it was dull and unengaging. The Ayre is the finest non-tube SS amp I've had in my system, beyond the Odyssey Stratos dual mono and the Ref1000's - though I admit I haven't had any of the real expensive SS amps. To each his own I guess!
How would you compare Ayre to Parasound?
Hi Y'all,
How would you compare the parasound halo 2ch to the Ayre 2ch amp and could you also let me know how you would compare the Ayre multi channel amp to the Halo A52 amp? I am looking for your opinion on sound, build, how the company's deal with any issues, and anything else you want to toss in too. I hope to be using Vandersteen 3a signature speakers. Currently I am using von schweikert vr-1's and the lcr 15 for the front and mb quarts in the rear. Thanks.
