Q & A

The Parasound JC5 is a 400 watt per channel, Class A/AB stereo power amplifier designed by industry expert John Curl. This new addition to the Halo series is a testament to Parasound's commitment to engineering excellence and collaboration with renowned audio equipment designer John Curl. After the success of the JC 1 mono block, which has been consistently recognized as a Class A recommended component for fifteen years, Parasound answered the requests of their global customers and dealers for a more compact and affordable alternative. John Curl was tasked with incorporating the exceptional quality of the JC 1 into a single chassis stereo amplifier, resulting in the impressive and accessible JC5.
