  . Stacking all the electronics on the ground (or 2 inches off it) between the loudspeakers is the worst place in the room by far to arrange the gear. There's several reasons why not to. No manufactures, and I mean NO manufacturers suggest putting their products there. Audiophiles, it is OK and perfectly reasonable to having a HiFi rack at waist height and above. Feel confident too that speaker cables beyond 6 feet will not be detrimental to sound quality. The ONLY motivation to this strange component arranging as of late is simple. It isn't meant to improve sound quality. It is only done to snap an all-in-one, look-at-me picture to post on social media. It's a silly way to lay-out a listening room.

  Having purchased the R3 Meta from Olson's a couple months ago, I can tell you that the R3 Meta is a phenomenal speaker. I paired it with the Yamaha R-N2000A and it seems to work well. I guess the best way to describe the sound is "neutral". It's not overtly bright like the KEF's of old, but not exactly warm (say like a Klipsch Heresy IV or a Wharfdale Linton). It certainly sounds better than the LS50 (I guess being a three-way helps). What it is lacking is low end. The speaker is capable of really clean sound until it hits its limit at 58hz and just rolls off abruptly. That may be OK with most classical music (except for anything with a pipe organ), but it will not be enough for bass heads. A subwoofer is definitely recommended. That being said, I bought these so that I don't bother my neighbors with booming bass so I can listen to classical music fairly loud without setting of the complex manager. Overall, I do recommend it.

  Someone else here mentioned that the amp goes from Class A into Class AB . . . not B . . .. that is an important distinction because this great amp never operates in Class B ! Just saying :-) For this level of sophistication and build quality, IMHO it IS a great value! and apparently a superb match for electrostatic speakers.

  Well, I'm not a $20k Audiophile, but an Audiophile nonetheless. Parasound it seems, from the totality of reviews I've read and heard, is consistent in its sound reproduction. I believe this has much to do with it's use of toroidal transformers (not ignoring John Curl). These provide what I call a hybrid sound, between tubes which are warm, and solid state which has a quick attack. I've just purchased 2 used A23s from reputable dealers to use as monoblocks. While waiting on the other to arrive I'm using one in my system as stereo. The sound is superb, sublime. The bass has weight and authority, and the mids and highs are smooth and detailed without fatigue. I've been looking for a review of either the A23s or the A23+ has monoblocks. I haven't found one. Is it possible to request Olsen's do a monoblock review of then? Thanks for reading.

  It seems that many JC5 owners don't know about or forget about the Halo line flagship JC1 mono blocks. Also, that poor amp is going to cook itself with no breathing room on top to dissipate the heat from 12watts of class A bias. That's about 300 watts of heat at idle which needs to be dissipated.
