    Just bid $325 shipped on this amp on audiogon.

    http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampsmult&1258988812&/Parasound-HCA-1203A-$350-Shipp

    Anything for $325 or less shipped that can beat this for a 3-channel amp?

    While this is more money...http://emotiva.com/xpa3.shtm I would take it over the Parasound used amp..I had a 2003A amp for awhile here..and while it lasted..(less than 2 months)showed me the difference what more power can do..BTW..it was bought directly from Parasound as a b/c stock unit.When it went out..they didn't want to repair it and gave me a full refund with out any hassle..

    My advise is to buy something with a excellent warranty..at a reasonable price..

      Thanks for the advice Mac. I ended up buying the parasound amp however... hopefully I'll get long lasting enjoyment out of it :rock:

        I can recommend to anyone reading that Emotiva amps own yo mamma. I have an XPA-5 and it is incredible. Plus they look sharp as hell

            I wanted that emo amp just couldn't afford it. Also, part of me thinks the parasound will be all the power I'll ever need and will sound just as good if not better (john curl design).

              Yah they definately look cool and are a rediculous bang for your buck I'm sure... they just hold their value too damn well to get a good deal on a used one.

                Emotiva owns the HT market, but not the two channel... :yes:

                          I suspect I would prefer tubes if I went monoblock with more juice. I loved them in the treble range

                            I heard from another member with high standards that he thought the sp3 was rather anemic. He has much more expensive tubes.

                            Yeah, not with high quality two-channel speakers. Can't you just see Danny hocking Emotivas?. :D

                              I think tube amps are for sissies. What, I'm going to drink a glass of champagne now and jerk off to some celine dion while listening to my 8 watt tube amp paired with my fruit cake sprinkle finished bookshelf speakers? Get outta here... :rock:
