Power Amplifiers : Parasound Halo A52 THX Ultra2 125w X 5 Amplifier "125 Parasound Watts carries a lot more grunt in the real world than a similar number of Watts from most AV amps, as our lab test prove." "...the system is powerful, engaging and very listenable, even when pumping the bass cones as though there was no tomorrow." "Power reserves are high and the whole effect is one of control, good definition and kick ass authority." "...a superb package (C 2, A 52, A 23), whose power and majesty can only be hinted at on the printed page, and tremendous material value for money too. Audition with urgency." 4 1/2 Stars - Alvin Gold "I wanted something considerably better, and the Halo electronics provided it, letting me hear soundtracks with higher resolution, more focus, more believable dynamics, and better channel-to-channel integration than I've heard from most home theater systems." "Once you live with the C 2 and A 52 for a few months you get hooked, and it becomes hard to imagine doing without the finely textured, three-dimensional sound they bring to life in films." - Christ Martens "This combo (C 2 and A 52) has to be the outright best looking gear I have had in my home theatre system." "In the end you have to say that there is still no AV receiver in the world with a bottom-end like this." "...the sound came through like candy to the ears." "It had a smoothness that helped create a sense of space and poise that was remarked upon by all who heard the combo." "Midrange performance was detailed and neutral. Male and female voice, violins and cellos were never harsh (as you would not forgive at this price point), but were reproduced with the most natural realism that I have heard from my home theatre." Performance = Five Stars (Perfection), Build Quality = Five Stars (Perfection) - Gavin Womersley "During listening, the set (C 2, A 52) showed muscles -but also a sense for fine details and apparent dimensionality." "The set organized the sound well, and never left any doubt of where the voices or music instruments were coming from." "Even in the biggest 'encounters' the Parasound never lost imaging, and even the strongest explosions or deepest bass attacks of a kind like 'Star Trek' could not distress them at all." "With this combination the Parasound development engineers have proven again a first class job." 93 - Michael Nothnagel A 52 Features: Circuitry designed by legendary John Curl THX Ultra2 certified High bias Class A/AB operation Balanced inputs with discrete circuits and XLR connectors Direct Coupled - no capacitors or inductors in signal path Complementary MOSFET driver stage and JFET input stage 20 beta-matched 15 amp, 60 MHz bipolar output transistors 1.4 kVA encapsulated toroid power transformer with independent secondary windings for each channel 100,000 µF power supply filter capacitance DC Servo and relay protection circuits AC present, channel status, high temperature indicators Heavy-duty 24k gold-plated 5-way speaker terminals Gold-plated RCA input jacks; ground lift switch Auto turn-on by 12v trigger or audio signal, 12v trigger out 3u Chassis, carry handles, rack mounting adapter available Parasound's 10 years parts, 5 years labor warranty A 52 Specs: Continuous power output: 125 watts RMS x 5, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 8 W, all channels driven 225 watts RMS x 5, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 4 W, all channels driven Current capacity: 30 amperes peak per channel Power bandwidth: 5 Hz - 100 kHz, +0/-3 dB at 1 watt Total harmonic distortion: < 0.2 % at full power IM distortion: < 0.04 % Slew rate: > 130 V/µsecond Dynamic headroom: > 1.5 dB Interchannel crosstalk: > 78 dB at 1 kHz; > 63 dB at 20 kHz Input sensitivity: 1 V for 28.28 V, THX Reference Level Input impedance: 47 k W unbalanced; 94 k W balanced S/N ratio: > 113 dB, input shorted, IHF A-weighted Damping factor: > 1000 at 20 Hz Voltage: 110V – 120V Dimensions: 17-1/4" w x 5-7/8" h x 19-3/4" d, 5-1/4" h without feet Net weight: 50 lbs.
