Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Parasound Halo Owners ?

Haven't we heard about some Halo problems with humming sometime in the last 6 months? I could be wrong; don't want to start a firestorm here...

I've heard that they now have, indeed, learned the words......

lol im adding to classic posts.

Just back from a stressful day, auditioned the B& K and the Parasound, and made the decision to go with the Halo's, will post a review of both systems in the morning and my reasoning for going with the Halo's. I have really appreciated all of the info and suggestions for replacements. ;-)

I think I posted this before and got dumped on but.....I have owned a few Halo's and have yet to hear a hum..................To take it one step further, I have yet to hear a hum from any Parasound product. I know some reported a hum from the A23 but mine was always dead quite.

Tharkun, you made a wise choice. The Parasound stuff will not disappoint.

Yes NH and Ken,
I reported the Halo Hum issue quite some time ago in this thread.
I never did go with the Halos. I had since had the chance to hear another A23 unit when a friend was interested in them and again, same hum issue at his place.
However, as i said before and reported to Tharkun, i don't think it is widespread and the Halos are a very attractive unit for the price. If you get a deal on one, it is worth it. The hum is really not audible during music playback.
If NH and i were ever to get together, i would love to hear his Halo unit just to see if the units i've heard to date were defective or whether it is a house-specific phenomenon.

Well at this type of investment, its a 30 mile drive and they will have them back for any minor problem I have, that is a given. ;-) This store has dealt with me in the past and know I expect what I pay for, nothing more, but nothing less.
