@P T I agree. Upgrading to external power amps would not be my top priority. I've stated that several times in my latest MiniDSP FLEX video and on videos on the Daily HiFi channel.

@joentell 2 года назад

@P T hiss is a pet peeve of mine

@joentell 2 года назад

@P T I have an upcoming review of some OSD amps you might be interested in

@bournelucid 3 года назад

The start-up click is very satisfying

@mattgiunt 3 года назад

Have owned it for 3 months, love it and for me everything just sounds fuller, deeper and more detailed.Cant imagine the letdown if I took this out of my home theater. Great review

@edwinabuel3174 2 года назад

Hi JoeN Tel! Which do you think has better sounding between Monolith 5 Parasound A52+ and Anthem mca 5 amplifier? Thank you in advance for reply!

@keepingupwiththejones2933 3 года назад

Parasound has been making fantastic amplifiers for a while. Once you hear one anything else isn't as satisfying.

@JJTeam-yr6tb 3 года назад

Can you look into Anthem? I owned an MCA 525 and loved it. Clean and simple. Wonder how it compares. Seems to be in a similar price range.

@antwanwilliams1972 3 года назад

Dope review. One of the best descriptions of audio listening I have watched. As a fan of HT and car audio I do agree that we just want to hear the music or the movie and want the forget about the equipment that makes it possible. 👍🏾

@adamjj85 3 года назад

I'd be curious to see frequency response measurements before and after the Parasound to see if any differences register.

@joentell 3 года назад

Me too. It might have to be a dynamic measurement to see how it reacts to changes in frequency response. It's not going to be easy, but I can try.

@Novilicious 3 года назад

Wondering about a52 vs the monolith 5 or 7 channel? Anyone have both or heard both?

@Reggaebeatman Год назад

Nice Review, What speakers you using with it? I have a Denon X3800 and need a good amp for 5.1.4 ....for music since the AVR shuts off when driving my 2 speakers in Pure Direct. I do prefer 2 channel 🎶 Pure Direct. Got my eye on Halo A31 or maybe the 5 channel.

@davidstein9129 Год назад

Thanks for another fun overview. I own a Parasound Halo A52+ 5 amplifier..John Curl design. I have a new pair of Totem Tribe Tower Speakers arriving very soon. They are a 4 Ohm speaker I listen to 2 channel music at low-moderate sound levels. ( I listen to Folk, jazz, Folk-rock, country/Americana) *Do you think that this pairing will create an enjoyable listening experience? Thanks!

@keepingupwiththejones2933 3 года назад

It made my speakers sound more expensive. Parasound should be putting that on a 👕

@joentell 3 года назад

They gotta pay for that one. 🤣

@beilermoloch 3 года назад

I have a Yamaha RX-A2060 and want to improve my sound. What would you recommend, parasound a52 + or Emotiva XPA-5 Gen3? Thanks for all the good videos.

@BrianGarside 2 года назад

Personally going for the A52+ but it depends if music is part of this decision. Parasound will sound better, how much is hard to say. Many people have the same question. Someone needs to make a video on it.

@jarrod2750 Год назад

Hey JoeNTell. I currently have a Parasound 5125 classic powering my surrounds and center. It is worth upgrading to the a52+. May mains are powered by an A21+ prepro is a Marantz Av8805a and klispch speakers all around

@synth505 Год назад

Depends on whether you need the xlr connections. You will get a 6 db increase using the xlr connections and a much lower noise floor. The components are also higher quality. Does your prepro or receiver have balanced xlr's? If not, there's no point in upgrading.

@xsonicpunkx 2 года назад

Hey joe How would you compare this to the monolith 5 channel amp? Is the Parasound worth the extra $700-$1200? I’ve been wanting the monolith but since they are out of stock I’m going with the Parasound but I’m wondering if it’s worth the extra money?

@joentell 2 года назад

I'm sorry, but I haven't reviewed the Monolith so I can't say

@UpgradingAsUsual 3 года назад

Don't think I didn't notice....LOVE THE FILM GRAIN EFFECT!

@joentell 3 года назад

Oh you noticed. I just tried it at the beginning.

@candoslayer 4 месяца назад

I am debating between this and the Anthem MCA 535

Sir try to review a D-sonic please

@donalddeorio2237 3 года назад

I have a 5 channel Carver av705x and a separate amp always sounds better.

@josephfinn6244 3 года назад

Great Joe, I especially like Fresh Hater Jay! He doesn't like anything.

@joentell 3 года назад

🤣 Yes, he can find something to complain about on every review.

@erronousactions 3 года назад

WHat do you power your dinas with?

@Gaur8n 3 года назад

The Dinas are powered speakers (built-in amp)

@erronousactions 3 года назад

@@Gaur8n Yes, I know and i realized i misspoke .. In this case I guess what's the input selector?

@joentell 3 года назад

I use a Chromecast Audio which I can cast many sources to via wifi.

Big upgrade in sound to go from an Emotive XPA5 Gen 2?

@savanpanchal451 3 года назад

I have same question. Looking to sell my xpa5 gen3 for this.

@ass2mouthallday 2 года назад

Emotive is garbage compared to Parasound.

@TriAmpHiFi 8 месяцев назад

350 Watts stereo into 4 Ohms!..................... Wow! let's go buy a 5-Channel power amplifier! Ya, that's the ticket. Reggae, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊

@ryanschipp8513 3 года назад

Wonder how it compares to a 5 channel Monoprice monolith for half the price....;)

@joentell 3 года назад

I've never tried the Monolith. I've heard good things.

@jarrod2750 2 года назад

Anyone ever compare this to the 5125?

@keepingupwiththejones2933 3 года назад

Joe: I kind of got lost in the sound. I forgot I was supposed to be reviewing the amplifier. Parasound: It took so long for the review we thought you forgot as well. 🥰🤣😂
