RE: Parasound amp/preamp vs Emotiva

I really like the Parasound Halo A21. My Thiel CS3.7 speakers have fairly low impedance. They're rated at 4-ohms, but I measured them and I would call them 3-ohm speakers.



My A21 will deliver 750-wpc at 1000-Hz on tone bursts into the Thiels with both channels driven. I had to wear ear plugs when I conducted the tests. The A21 was just starting to clip at 50-VRMS. I heard no audible distortion from the Thiels.
