Parasound's Halo range is remarkable. The pre/power combinations available are awesome, their signature sound pure, airy and radiant, yet not without weight or incisive bass. The universal disc player handles all responsibilities with a sense of important duty, playing pictures as beautifully as sounds. The tuner locks securely onto the required station, resisting spikey signals and giving radio back to us with a noise floor so low that the space around the reception is huge. Gorgeous to look at and expertly constructed (with an appealing blue glow when running) Parasound is a competitive product and its AV range of equipment goes from strength to strength, offering 5 or 7 channels of clean, penetrative sound and pictures of amazing immediacy.
