How about Parasound?

I've been getting great feedback re./questions I've asked about Arcam, Adcom and Anthem. My last question is the Parasound multi amp and separate surround processors. What is your opinion? I believe they have a C3, HDP70 and the HDR 77 coming out this year. Just looking for feedback/experiences with Parasound. Thanks.

I have owned a Parasound 1205 5 channel amp for about 8 years. One repair under warranty (loose solder joint cause a channel to go out) - otherwise no trouble.

Well built and I think it sounds very good for a solid state amp. For a while I ran it in a two channel system.

Parasound is IMHO an underrated brand.

I've heard a Parasound 5-channel amp and recall it sounding very good for the price. I was also very impressed with a Parasound Halo C3 preamp, but I have no experience with their processors.

Currently running a Parasound HCA-1205A in a Magnepan IIIa home theater. Have owned it close to ten years and had one channel go out under warranty. Very good sounding and purchased it over B&K, Sunfire amps and a number of high-end receivers I auditioned at the time. In regards to their processors, I had their AVC-1800 which was their entry HT processor but it sure did sound better than the Outlaw Audio Model 990 HT processor I had.
