Getting ready for the move and new gear...

I've got a Parasound Halo A23 in silver, excellent condition. It sounds excellent and has driven my Magnepan 1.6QR very well, it's a tad on the warm side so if you're looking to bring a slightly forward system back to neutral I'd recommend giving it a shot. It won't drive the incoming 3.7 as well though so it's being displaced by the Halo A21. Several Polkies heard this amp driving the Maggies at LSAF and can comment on how they thought it sounded.

I've got all the original packaging and accessories. I'm gonna give locals first dibs for a couple days but am open to shipping this if nobody wants it locally.

$500 local pick up or plus shipping

    Can you estimate shipping to 77494?

    Has anyone paired this with a b&k pt5? If so, pm me your thoughts. Thanks.

    You're not too far so I'm guessing $25 at the most, anything over that I'll cover

    That's a recent issue $1K amp for half price. I can't believe it wouldn't work great with that pre but at the price of the amp you could definitely get your money back on it. I was impressed enough with that amp to fork out another 1K for the A21.

    This is an excellent price for this amp. If I hadn't just dropped a bunch of coin on a Parasound Halo P5, I'd be all over this amp without hesitation. Unfortunately my bank account needs some time to recover.

    Good luck with the sale.

    Hmmm...ASiMiLaTeD's picture does not look much like Milwaukee.

    Ok, I'll give it a go. I'll shoot you a PM this evening with payment and shipping details we can work out. Do you have any balanced cables? That's one motivation to move up from the NAD I'm running.

    Parasound is SOLD

    I have some balanced interconnects but they're already packed so won't be able to get to them until June, those SignalCable will be better anyways,
