Parasounds power amp is able to bring out the best bass from speakers. Different kinds of music made us appreciate the unusual character of this amplification. Outstanding!Soundstage Network July 2019Reviewers ChoiceParasound provides great value in the Halo A 23+. I havent heard better sound or seen higher build quality at this price. An impressive power amplifier.Stereo+ (Norway) January 2019Together, the Parasound P 6 and A 23+ are dynamite. Pure sonic magic with brilliant dynamics, delicious midrange and impressive resolution. To get such good sound for the price of this duo seems almost unnatural. One incredibly appealing preamp-amplifier package from Parasound. Changes from the original A 23?A 23+
