i was thinking about taking a trip up to check this out this weekend:
http://boston.craigslist.org/ele/115683813.html

emailed the seller but nothing back yet. not sure that it would be that much of an upgrade from my adcom 555 but i have been looking for something to drive my center channel as well as the mains.

anyone have any experience with this model?

    Just my opinion, as a long time owner of their HCA 1500, but I think the HCA line of the parasounds are great.

    And a good price to boot, the 1500 normally sells for around 500.00 and you are getting an extra channel to boot...

    thanks,
    i also have heard good things about parasound amps so i figure it is worth a shot. plus it seems like a good deal. hopefully it is still available as the seller has not gotten back to me.

    If it is still available and you get cold feet post back on here, as I could use it as well, will just use it for my front 3 and move my 1500 to the rears, and sell off my monoblocks...
