Glad you released this video to clarify what you said before.... Been enjoying mine now for the last 10 months.... Have to say I feel its an astounding performer.
Those who cannot afford JC5 or Halo A-21+, can easily find a used Parasound Halo A-21 at the reasonable price. I am still using and enjoying this older audio-beast …
I just bought a JC5 about 6 weeks ago. I insisted when it came in that we we test it in the store to make sure it worked. I didn't want to take it home and have it not work and then get blamed for doing something wrong (to be fair when I told them this they looked at me with confusion - they really were/are about customer service - but, I am paranoid when it comes to money : ) ). Anyway - it came in and we tested it with 2 sets of speakers - the higher end was from Sonus Faber ....... Sonic perfection personified !!! I am not sure how they offer this type of quality for this amount of money. And, I have No/nada affiliation with this company. I would bet you would have to spend 3 times the amount I paid to get the same sound quality. Fair warning - I prefer the sound of solid state to that of tubes (I have my own reasons that I will not bore you with) ..... so there is that consideration. If I ever want to go to a bi-amp setup I am just going to buy another one without thought. Thanks Olson's hifi.
I hate when videos start with listening sessions. something waaaay different about this one. I think I am loving parasound more each day. First video and following. Thank you Ben!
It seems that many JC5 owners don't know about or forget about the Halo line flagship JC1 mono blocks. Also, that poor amp is going to cook itself with no breathing room on top to dissipate the heat from 12watts of class A bias. That's about 300 watts of heat at idle which needs to be dissipated.
Those are the exact Kef Reference speaker stands that one can purchase from Kef. They are very expensive. I own a pair as they fit perfectly. Expensive but worth it if you can get a little discount from a dealer...
Hello, Can I pair this JC5 amplifier with my Parasound P6 pre-amplifier? I plan to get a pair of Revel F328Be speakers but I already have a P6 pre and A23+ amplifier.
Thanks for doing this important video for us.

Hi there, what pre amp do you use with the jc5 ?

Does it run hot?
Or even an A23 sounds amazing. For about $600 used, it's very hard to beat.
Where can I get a good used JC 5 ?

Sweet as always parasound
I like it when things are more gooder! ( just messing with you) I'm in the market for a amplifier. Thanks for your video, you've helped me. 👍
Like the JC5 - bit more than I could afford when I bought my amps.
Cool....JC5 with KEF Reference 1
I love these funny videos about tiny sound nuances in horrible listening rooms. This room has acoustics of bathroom or some bat cave.

I like the speaker stands...What are the specs ?
How many Parasound Halo do i need to power JBL L-Series 2(JBL 890 FloorStand), 4(Surround Speakers), (1 Center), (1 L8400P Subwoofer) ?
What preamp is used here?
Jc5 or krell xd duo line?
That's not enough space above that amp to breathe.
Please let me know what manufacturer makes your stereo stand that's exactly what I need thank you very much

Does the A23 run hot?
@@nico3641 No, The A23+ does not run hot.
No, do not pair the jc5 with the p6, it will blow up, u gotta be crazy man. Dont do it
You are completely insane if you paired those to together I hope you didn’t blow your house up please let us know you’re ok good sir
@@Sloimer Why do you say so? I eventually got a pair of Kef Reference 3 speakers with Parasound A21+ amplifier and P6 preamplifier.
Sound good but I hope it’s not just the room that he in cause when he speak I can hear more bass tone
This room has acoustics of bathroom or some bat cave. Horrible.
That Amp gets very Hot Man get it out of the shelf in order to ventilate
Yep, no respect fot the jc5, this man should do some jail time.
He should do something with the acoustics of the room too. It sounds like bathroom or some bat cave. 😅
What’s the intro song??
It's an early Pink Floyd song. It's either on 'Meddle' or 'More'.
It's on the Marantz screen, Obscure by clouds by Pink Floyd.
