    Looking forward to the review Joey, what's in the cards for front end electronics for these ?

    My goal is warmer but still good for
    The kids

    Parasound JC1 stack is what I’m aiming for. Will that happen? Only 1 person knows.

    And that ain’t me.

    That’s Melissa, CEO CFO CIA Exexutive Chairman

    have you thought about the new parasound amp coming out?

    What?

    John conveniently forgets that France once ruled England and had colonies all over the world. During WWII the French resistance helped win the war. They also gave us the Statue of Liberty. You might want to show a bit more respect to a great nation of people.

    Not to mention the endless contributions to the world in art, cuisine, wine and on and on.
