Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else?
The Jc5 will take some time to settle, I hold by my advice . Prepare yourself! When it starts filling in and going beyond borders previously limited don't say I didn't tell you so.  
Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else?

What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean?
+1 on the Gerlitz it's amazing stuff!
