Anyone have any experience with these 2 components. Seems to get some fairly high reviews. Thinking about getting them. Any comments appreciated.

    I have an A21 and I'm very happy with it. Solid built, smooth and powerful. Parasound has a non transferrable 10 year warranty on their Halo units. I would recommend it. They show up on Audiogon frequently for a decent price.

    The A23 is a very smooth and musical amp, I'm very happy with mine also.

    Buy used and save..I got mine from a fellow forum member.

    I used both including the T3 tuner for quite some time, and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Sound and build quality seem to be virtually unparalleled at their price point. If it were not for my current tube kick, I would have all three up and running right this minute.

    I was looking at the P3 as well, but I've heard that its noisey.
