At 2019 California show he used Bricasti. Perhaps he should have used Parasound given that I have yet to hear a room with Bricasti that I can say I have liked. It may be a preference issue given they are popular and expensive amplifiers but when I told the dealer I prefered the Parasound he just said "John Curl."
The Bricasti may be technically more accurate than Parasound or measure better on the bench or something, but it sounds like a SS amp. But the Bricasti has that lean midrange sort of sound - the Parasound sounds richer and more dense - I hate to say it but more "valve-like" or even kind of a hybrid.
Buying three A23+ for 6 channels also holds some interest.
