I can't believe 37% off because they are silver according to Corey at audio advisor they should be gone by Thursday or Friday. I want one bad won't sleep unless I give in to the calling.I have it in my cart waiting for some reason to not give in what to do?

    I can not get the link to work I assume most of you know what a Parasound A31 Halo looks like and at $1999.99, I can only guess it's a once in lifetime chance.

    Wow what a deal to be had there. A lot of quality for the price.

    If I had your deep pockets Joey I would of bought the A51 not on sale now questions asked, or maybe went for a Krell. It still is in the cart and my finger has hovered over it a time or two.

    If you've wanted one, now is the time to do it.

    Steve, you've got the green light if its what you want.

    You saw the HT Dereck tell me this A31 is not overkill.

    Great setup for audio guys who want robust combo systems - fantastic 2ch, and the extra channel for when you want 3.1.

    If you do get it, you'll be upgrading everything else because for what you have listed it is overkill, but who cares >:). It would be a disgrace to use an AVR as a pre. :#

    Just tell her it's mine. Just like last time. That should give you a couple of weeks before she figures it out.
    Then you and the Halo can come stay at my place.

    They are available in black at full price. Parasound is just phasing out the silver version, most likely because home theater gear tends to be black and black probably turned into a bigger seller than silver for this amp after they introduced the new color to the Halo line. I still think their best value for a home theater amp was the A52 which they discontinued.
