I have wanted a A51 for years, ever since I heard it in a hotel room at a show playing through M&K S150 speakers it was one of the most visceral and dynamic home theatre sounds I have ever heard (even to this day) ... I will never forget it ... incredible and easy on the ears even at super loud volume. Parasound and M&K is a match made in heaven
That Home Theater Dude a lot of people find that the M&K’s can sound a tad bright and clinical. I think the midrange warmth of the Parasound counteracts this, they seem to balance each other out superbly. I don’t own either brand btw I have Dali Epicon speakers and NAD Masters series amps. System synergy is so important when putting AV (or stereo) components together I realised it after hearing that demonstration . It must of been 15 years ago at least, way before Dolby TRUHD or DTS HD had been invented I think we had only just made the jump from Laserdisc to DVD!
Congratulations brother! I wish you a most amazing journey with your little one. I know you’ll be an incredible father. Best wishes to you and your wife. Sending lots of positive energy your way. And as always, great job on the review. I’m going to look them up.
I know this video is about the Parasound THX Amp but I knew it!!! Deep inside your heart you love those Klipsch R7III. All that shiny copper stands out in you theater room🤣🤣Love your channel bro. ✌️☮️
Thats true. But there is a limit on how many you can daisy chain in a row. the weak link is the AVR. That one unit dictates how many other ones can be chained together. Its in the user manual.
Congrats on those baby feet in the intro man! Now I know why you have been busy! LOL Great review, Great Amp! I am a big Parasound fan. I have my front LCR speakers bi-amped with three A- 23 Halo amps. Parasound is always great bang for the buck. Great build quality, and performance. Do those little feet have an Atmos system in their room yet? Take care man!
Hello friend, I have a receiver denon avrx 6400 and I go to the klipsch towers RP8000F to the front and the power amplifier parasound A31, could you share your experience if you liked it? I see you have a similar setup in this video, thanks for the video, here in Brazil.
Excellent review dude:) i'm considering buying this amp for my pair of B&W 803N because this combo works really well:) and if you want the same amout of power you should maybe take a look at the Parasound HCA 2003 or 2002 depending on the amout of channels:)
Actually i heard that if you get the baby used to louder environments, them they will be harder to disturb. Its business as usual here. I usually take a month or two off of the channel throughout the year. this fit in perfect with the baby :) I have been busy with other projects too. I am helping out the DREAMEDIA guys with their videos and their channels.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude That's really cool, iv seen a few videos from the dream media guys, I look forward to your guys collaboration. Yeah it is true about loud noises with babies. When my 2 year old was born he would never sleep, but would cry for hours. But then we found out that by switching the vacuum cleaner on the sound should help him sleep, and guess what it worked wonders. It's like my baby had a on and off switch lol. So I guess it's just the neighbours to worry about lol.
Awesome amp .. hopefully you are able to keep it .. My father-in-law just bought an a23 along with their preamp .. Really nice sound and clean power . Congratulations on the new baby 😊it’s surprising that you are able to still do this channel lol ..
They send these out with an option to buy. I really want more channels, but It was super hard sending this thing back. it was the nicest piece of equipment i have had to date. :(
That Home Theater Dude I can imagine 😊. It would be nice if para sound made a 7 channel amp .. I know they only make the 5 channel version of what you have ..
Price? I’ve always considered Parasound as a reasonably priced alternative to the crazies - Bryston, PS Audio, etc. Parasound will be my upgrade path, as soon as my music room is no longer the grandson’s playroom!
I've been eyeing the parasound a31 for awhile for my front stage rf-7iii and Rc-64iii but ultimately decided to order the monolith 7x200 which will arrive Monday. Did I make a good choice? I will add another amplifier at a later date as I build this home theater.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude your in a good spot. Working with parasound isn't a bad thing at all. I'm going to eventually want another amp to make the 5.2.4 happen if not the 7.2.4. Maybe you could review the parasound A21+ amplifier?
Getting mine delivered this week. Originally went with the 2250 v2, but the center felt lacking in movies, even with an SVS ultra. Looking forward to the LCR getting some power to the centers and maybe some improvements for the towers
I am always here to compare car audio to home theater audio. Have you ever seen someone try to use a car audio amp in a home theater? Is it even possible? Would love to hear your input.
Its possible but not really economical. You need a dc power source which can be bought or made. Class D amplification usually isnt the best for a home theater environment. Class D is great for bass tho :)
Congrats on the little one! Couldn't get over the visual of the Klipsch towers with the SVS (?) center; is that just a test configuration or what you actually use? How do they sound together? I would immediately think they're not "matched" and it would be noticeable.
I bought the klipsch to test. I decided to sell them. Since people will want to come and test them out I left them for now. I will be setting the ultras back up front like normal soon.
I havent reviewed the XPA line yet. But Usually you can hear a difference when you start going seperates. it saves your equipment too by splitting the load.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude so happy for you Chris there isn't anything I've done this world that compares to being a father. Also the toughest job in the world be patient relax into it you'll find the balance that you need congratulations
How did the RF7s sound with this amp? Bass good? I’m considering this as I have an outlaw model 7000x but feel I need more power down low for my RF7 IIIs
i havent used the dr3.... i would like to. The a31 was a nice and clean sounding amp with a smidge of warm tones. I really like the way it sounded. I asked emo for the xpa amps several times but never got one for review
Curious if you have ever used Crown xls 1502 amplifiers? I have a car audio Cerwin Vega Pro Stroker 12" subwoofer in a 1" MDF ported box that I used to be able to use in my car. But getting married and having kids I had to give back my truck space. I ran my subwoofer at 1600w rms at 1 ohm using a hifonics brutus amp. I'd like to try to use this subwoofer in my home audio system since it's just collecting dust now. I have a Klipsch 10swi sub and want to add another to my system. Do you think this would sound ok or a bad idea? My Denon AVR x2300w has the dual subs setup available.
Great input. Thanks. Have an off topic question. Can you do 4k HDR gaming from the Xbox one X on the 6050? Only half of my 4k details are green checked in my xbox. I'm stuck with only 4k 24Hz with movies. Can you check yours please? We should get 4k @ 60Hz HDR. I'm not happy since this thing is $4000. Missed ya. Keep 'em coming.
Good question. I will test it out. I ran into that prob when I had it connected to the 5040. They should all be green now. I will check tho. remind me if i forget :)
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude I figured it out. In my Yamaha receiver there's a hidden setting you have to access on the unit itself, not the remote. Had to switch from 4k mode 2 to 4k mode 1. Kind of ridiculous that I spent hours on the phone and searching the web. I dont see a need for such a setting. My 6050 is such a beast! I'm thinking of going from matte white to cine gray. I have a light controlled room. Thoughts?
You said the Outlaw 2200 is really great. Why spend $3295 for the A31 when 3 Outlaws @ $399 is $1197 and you still have $2098 that could be used for something else in the setup.
For the reasons I stated in the video. class A A/b sounds different than the class H. Is it worth a big chunk of change? it depends on the person. I am keeping my outlaws for now. I will be reviewing more parasound amps soon :)
Thanks for the video, but just a few constructive criticism points. You're talkin about these amps get you're not even sure about the class of amplification. Before you do the review or the video it's going to sound better if you have confidence in what you're talkin about and know exactly what you're talking about. Secondly you mentioned the Watts that has but is it with all channels driven is it Peak power is an RMS? It would be good to just stay at exactly the wattage. And then lastly you compare a little bit to the outlaw monoblocks but you don't describe in detail the difference in sound. I think it would make sense for you to mention the difference in sound quality in particular.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude Same plan here. Want the A51 and the Anthem AVM60 as a preamp. Was planning on buying the Ultra Towers too, until I stumbled on something nicer yesterday.......
I own Outlaw amps including the 2200's. They are well built and very hefty. There should be no sound quality difference between the Outlaw and the Parasound as they are both near the same power rating. The Outlaw has no high frequency rolloff though the Parasound may which could account for "perceived " sound difference.
the wattage difference isnt much but the class of amplification is what makes the difference. Class A/B and H is what the outlaws deliver. Arguments can be made for both. Its one of those things that you have to experience to understand. Hopefully there is a store or a convention near you to check out. I heard these in action at AXPONA in chicago.
Who in the hell does auto sense with an external amp...😂😂😂. Always use the trigger dude... split you single trigger if you don't have a chain option on you gear.
Hi what do you notice when driving your svs ultra Towers and ultra center whit the parasound halo A-31 vs youst your reciver..? Or your other amps..? Are there a realy big diffrence for movies if you set the crossover to 60hz or 80hz to your subbs.
The tonality changed and it seemed to be a little more detailed in sound recreation especially with music. Guardians of the Galaxy sounded amazing when I made the switch
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude Hi agin have you tested it against the Emotiva xpa-3 yet..? Any thougts..? For the price point maybe you should reach out to Emotiva and ask them if you could test the Emotiva xpa-DR3 insted.? maybe more fair comparison if you think of the money..? Youst a thougt what do you Think..? Congrats to the New family member..🙂
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude I was just trying to share a suggestion. Incorrect on having this setup giving you good bass, with actual understanding of physics and electrical engineering, I can confirm you there is no way you can get optimal sound from that placement. First, having the subs place in the middle of the wall instead of in the corners will mean that the subs themselves will not be as loud. Second, when you do not place the subs in opposing corners, you are not allowing the subs to combat room nodes. The benefit of multiple subs is the ability to equalize the bass energy in the room thus eliminating or smoothing out nulls and peaks. You have a really nice system and I'm sure you can try it out. Cheers.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude room corners vs not work the same way this is physics. Your corner may sound better or worse than another corner, that needs presence in room, but you don't need to be in any room to say how two subwoofers would perform in corner vs being close to center. You're mixing science with feelings. Yes one needs to be in a room for certain placement, but doesn't need to be in a room to instant notice an issue with specific placement errors regardless of how a room is. The location you have is a class sub optimal layout. Again, just because you feel it may be better doesn't mean it actually is. I don't get anything out of trying to tell you that, so you can do whatever you want. You can also see some old audioholics articles that talk about this very issue people make often.
Man, hearing you talk is annoying! You repeat yourself non-stop. You didn’t really say anything that was informative, it’s all specs you can find on the net. Not trying to be a jerk, just my opinion. The other audio guys talk smoothly and concisely, you should try to do that.

There is a 12V trigger out on the A31, so you can daisy chain the other amp.
Thats true. But there is a limit on how many you can daisy chain in a row. the weak link is the AVR. That one unit dictates how many other ones can be chained together. Its in the user manual.

@@ThatHomeTheaterDude I was looking at them but at 20" depth they would not fit in my cabinet
What did you set the gain on the amp to? Halfway at reference level or higher/lower?
I would love for you to do a review on the Emotiva xpa3 . Love to hear your comparisons, etc?
I see a baby feet over there congratulations brother God bless you and God bless all your family
I’m saving up for this amp I gotta have it was gonna get a xpa-3 but I believe this one is worth the extra cost

I know I love That Home theater Dude also! Clearly you do not have to try to be a Jerk to... Be and jerk :)
TOMPDUDE Tom, your corny. Get your head out of his ass, you bum!
