5 x 250 wpc amp. This was my first step in the upgrade process. I was looking for immediate results in all channels of HT and saw only positive reviews of the Parasound Halo. It instantly made the Forests come to life. I'm aware that a 2 ch amp would be better and plan to get the A21 and move to 7.1.
I bought this pre/pro here on A'gon as my first move to separates from an Onkyo TX-SR805. Since decoding of new formats seems to happen relatively frequently, I didn't want to invest in a state of the art pre/pro that would become obsolete quickly but wanted a better pre section than the Onkyo. I see this as an interim piece until I complete my system and see how everything comes together.
It was love at first listen when I heard these in the store. They are front L/R for my HT set up and were just okay with the AVR. With more power they came to life and really shine when listening to 2 channel. Nice cherry finish.

Recently added this to complete HT set up. Blends perfectly with the Forests.
Mounted on wall as rear channels for HT. Cherry finish.
I am using this as my all in one CD, DVD, Blu-ray player. Everything it is advertised to be in terms of quality and versatility. The built in DAC is wonderful.
A colleague built this for me. Running Windows 7. I use this mainly for streaming video via Netflix and my kids love being able to go on Facebook and surf using a 50" monitor. Fan noise and size of the tower case are issues that I have to address.
Everything it was reported to be and more. Instantly brought music from my PC to whole new level.
Plasma monitor purchased in 2008. No tuner or speakers to minimize bulk. Wall mounted. I'm still impressed by the picture. I just like plasma better than LCD I suppose.
Moving from an Onkyo 805 AVR to the C2, I needed to add an HDMI switcher. I opted for this model because it gave me video processing I sacrificed when I made the move. Very good user interface and easy set up.
I had these made by a local retailer to a custom length. They run under my living room floor (over my basement ceiling) and come back up through holes drilled in the floor so no wires show.
After reading alot of posts here and elsewhere, I settled on these as a reasonably priced option that would fit well with my system. Balanced interconnects run from my pre/pro to amp and from the DAC to the pre/pro. RCAs run from the Oppo to the pre/pro.
Waiting for delivery of this. The system outgrew the bookcase where I previously had everything set up.
