I have decided to separate my Parasound C2 Controller and 5 channel amp as opposed to selling them as a pair. They will be listed on Audiogon tomorow, but Polkie prices will still be honored.

I am the second owner of this amp. I bought this from another Polkie (Emlyn) about two years ago. This amp does not have a scratch! It is in great physical and operating system. The A52 12 volt trigger cable, original manuals, boxes and packaging material. Here are some of the specs from Parasound:

Nice looking, nice sounding amp there.

I don't understand why there aren;t any bites yet! I've advised a number of people who have Rtis and Lsis to consider just such an amp.

I like Parasounds a lot, great value...good sound...

Come on guys...YOU know who you are...this is going to go fast on the ...gon..!

Yes the C2 controller has 5.1 external inputs and outputs, balanced and unbalanced. The C2 controller was sold several weeks ago. I would have loved to sell them to a Polk Forum Member as a pair. What a combo!! The sale was not to be. I put them on Audiogon and Poof!
