Hi,
I am currently considering purchasing the following Parasound components:
Parasound Halo A52 5ch Power Amp
Parasound Halo A23 2ch Power Amp
Parasound Halo C2 Controller
Upto now I have only ever owned integrated AV amplifiers. For various reasons I have decided to sell off my Denon and go for separates incl. a decent video processor (i.e. the Crystalio II).
I have a question concerning separates which I would be most greatful if someone could answer for me.
Basically I understand that the power amps are triggered on via a 12v trigger line. I presume that when the C2 processor is placed into standby mode the power amps are automatically turned off!! However, are the power amps truely turned off, or are they simply put into a standby state? if in standby mode then what is the power consumption when in standby?
The reason this question came about is that I noticed that the Krell Showcase Amps specify a standby power of 90W!! which seems somewhat rediculous.
Kind Regards
Adrian
ps. Are the Parasound components fanless?
