Parasound 2250 v2 power amplifier
Parasound's NewClassic Model 2250 power amplifier just received an update. It's been reborn as the NewClassic Model 2250 v.2. See below for the lowdown on all of the great new features. Looking for a powerhouse two-channel power amp that's near-perfect and affordable? Parasound's NewClassic Model 2250 v2 gives you plenty of power for better than movie house sound quality. And the THX Ultra2 certification means that it meets the highest performance standards for convincing reproduction of movie soundtracks. The new ultra-sensitive two-position audio trigger allowed Parasound to eliminate the audio trigger sensitivity knob. A 'Quieter' setting will automatically turn on the amp at a very low volume. If this isn't sensitive enough for your system needs, you can also use the 'Louder' setting. The 12 volt trigger jacks change from 2.5mm to 3.5mm. The standard for 12 volt triggers in the audio world has become the 3.5mm size and all new Parasound products will change to use this larger size. Here's one more change to the rear panel. The ground lift switch has been removed. Changes to the internal grounding of the amps make this switch unnecessary. The Model 2250 v.2 delivers the high-resolution power you need for big entertainment. It offers an extremely healthy 275-watt-per-channel output at 8 ohms and a huge 400 watts at 4 ohms. But hang onto your hat, because it will also deliver a full-throttle 750 watts into 8 ohms or 4 ohms in bridged mono mode. And it boasts 45 amps of peak current per channel for superior resolution of demanding musical peaks. The sound quality is pure Parasound pleasure, of course.
