{"product_id":"par-a23-int-amp9307","title":"Parasound A23 Integrated Amplifier","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJohn Curl designed the A23’s circuit. That matters more than the price tag suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCurl’s work shows up in amplifiers that cost multiples of what Parasound charges. The A23 is that same engineering applied to a product built to be accessible — 125 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 200 into 4, measured conservatively in Parasound’s tradition. The output stage runs in Class A for the first few watts before transitioning to AB, which covers most of what happens at normal listening levels. Fully complementary topology, zero feedback in the gain stage, high current capability throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSonically it is honest and direct. No added warmth, no flattering brightness — what you put in comes out accurately, with enough power that speakers rarely catch the amplifier working hard. Low end controlled, midrange clean, top end extended without drawing attention to itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt the price Parasound sells this, there is very little in the integrated market that offers the same engineering pedigree. If your speakers can use the current, the A23 will not be the piece you replace first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parasound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48584587935881,"sku":"A23 INT AMP9307","price":675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4557\/0185\/files\/A23copy2.png?v=1791628158","url":"https:\/\/echohifi.com\/products\/par-a23-int-amp9307","provider":"Echo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
