Which integrated amp would you pick?


Musical Fidelity M6 or Parasound Halo? Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

I’m sure if your a good haggler at $2.5k rrp you can get them down, as many places sell Parasound in the US, in Australia no one pays rrp for anything but you have to haggle for it, isn’t it the same in the US?

And there’s always used, this one was mint and boxed.

And if you still have the hard to drive Martin Logan Accents, then this is the integrated for you.

As ML esl's can dip down to 1ohm, and the Parasound having good current delivery because it uses bi-polar (BJT) output devices and has decent power supply will not mind this load.

Perhaps settle on your new speakers then decide? But both are great options although I think Para is a lot cheaper. If you can spend a lot more than that perhaps look at a few other options as well such as Hegel, red wine, Yamaha and Regs - just to be sure you find what you like best. Keep us posted and enjoy the search. 
I bought my Parasound Halo new in silver in January of this year from a dealer in Chicopee, Mass.  He was a Home Theater dealer who ordered it for me and I paid 2100.00 for it.
