Weaknesses:
none

parasound 85watt x 5 ati 1505 very good amp

Price Paid:  $1675.00

Summary:
I could not be happier with this amp. Solid build, heavy, huge power supply, great warm sound, everything I wanted in a power amp. I had a B&K and this amp is much smoother and provides deeper and tighter bass. All of my speakers are nominally 4 ohm and this amp does not mind a bit and any level. For the price you cannot beat it. I thought about a Sherbourn but I decided to stick to the one large power supply over the 5 mono amps in one chassis

Strengths:
Power, Sound, and Price.

Weaknesses:
I do not have 2 of them

Summary:
I bought it used at a good price. Previously I used Acurus A200x5. I think Acurus produced smoother mid and upper. while Parasound produced tighter and deeper bass. If you listen to music more and have powered subwoofer, Acurus is a better choice ( for a used 5 channels amplifier under $1,000) This unit goes hot just 20 mins after I turned on. It is quite heavy( anyway,I didn''t move it that often)

Strengths:
Tight Deep Bass. Price, Power, THX

Weaknesses:
mid and upper somewhat too much, not so smooth..
