I have been playing with my Paramounts for about 8 months now, and I must say that they are fantastic. Superquiet, top resolution and great soundstage. My amps are set up with 2A3s. Hope you sell a bunch of these amps.

HeyRoger,

I see that the paramounts are in some very good company in your system, and those speakers certainly will let you know if your power amps are not up to the job!

Nice system, and I look forward to building some paramounts sometime next year myself.

Yes, with the right speakers these amps really shine. I have to almost stick my head into the horns to hear a very low hum.
