Halo C 2 7.1 Channel Surround Controller
PARASOUND: Since 1981 our name has been synonymous with rock-solid reliability,
amazing sound quality and unequaled value. Building on this reputation we have
created an ambitious new line of components, HALO by Parasound. This exciting
series brings you the highest level of refinement, performance, and distinctive
design.
Halo components have earned the highest praise from top magazine reviewers
and critics across the globe. The striking industrial design of these products
was given the prestigious Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum, and
our remarkable JC 1 power amplifier was crowned Amplifier of the Year by Stereophile
magazine - a significant honor which until now was bestowed only upon products
at vastly higher prices.
