Parasound to Pass Upgrade

I agree @jdub39 !
But they are a great value used and can be had new for less than list.

regardless, I did purchase the JC1+ pair and was disappointed.  And I have a halo 5 channel amp and a small halo 2 channel I used bridged for center channel.  I liked them.  

Let's throw the PS Audio BHK 300s into the mix as well. So moving from Parasound JC-1 to either Pass Labs X260.8 or PS Audio BHK300. Thanks for all the feedback.

The Pass x series produce little heat. I had X350 for over ten years. Under load it gets a little warm. Pass xSeries amps are very good for solid  state. To me much more musical than the Parasound.

@fastninja12  if the JC1+ disappointed you, what did you ultimately ended up going with? Also what was your speaker pairing if you don't mind me asking? I am enjoying my JC1+ amps now much more after pairing them with my Sopra No. 3's as opposed to my previous JBL L100 classic speakers.

The Pass labs are a bit warmer ,but also cleaner sounding , with better headroom

and dynamics , having dedicated amp stands to is a plus ,,there are I believe 10 fuses in the JC1 monos  in thePass  labs far less this too explaines and different design topology designs. For that much money there are a lot of excellent products 

the Coda pure class Aamps may be better still ,at $16 k retail each 

but getting a decent discount brings this down their top $7k Fet preamp 

is superb even against preamps 2 x their cost , Mikeat Audio Archon 

is worth the call.
