Question

Chris Mueller · Answer

Parasound HALO HINT6 Amp: A total beast. I absolutely love everything about this amp. It's gorgeous, simple, and powerful. Everything sounds so so good.

I pair this amp with KEF LS50 Metas. The LS50 Metas, though they're small, require a lot of power to sound good. This amp delivers.

My go-to test for audio equipment is Attaboy from the Goat Rodeo Sessions recorded by Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile. This track is complex and interwoven, just enough that you can pick out all the instruments and subtleties. Anything less than an A+ stereo setup quickly introduces mud and slop into the sound.

The Halo Hint 6 will get you there. Great value for this price point.
