Parasound Halo A23+ Stereo Power Amplifier
There’s something timeless about a well-designed solid-state amp. No frills, no fireworks ... just the quiet confidence of an engine built to move music with authority. The Parasound Halo A23+ is one of those pieces. It’s the “little brother” to the legendary JC 5, designed by none other than John Curl, the mind behind some of the most respected amplification in the business.
On paper it’s 160 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 240 into 4, and over 500 bridged mono. In practice, it’s an amplifier that punches way outside its weight class. The A23+ has the speed and grip to control modern floorstanders, but also the finesse to let a single note of upright bass hang in the air with real body. It’s clean without being clinical, powerful without being heavy-handed, the kind of amp you can happily live with for years without feeling the itch to “upgrade.”
Parasound gear has always carried that sweet spot reputation: audiophile design sensibility, real-world usability, and pricing that feels almost too reasonable given the performance. That’s why you see A23+ units at the heart of everything from modest vinyl setups to reference-level home theaters. It’s flexible, dependable, and built to be the quiet workhorse in a system that deserves more than the usual off-the-shelf muscle.
This unit comes to us in excellent condition, tested and ready for its next home. Whether you run it in stereo to anchor a two-channel rig or bridge it for serious power in a bigger system, the A23+ is proof that Parasound’s “value meets performance” reputation is still very much alive.
