"I find Parasound products to sound great, are a tremendous value, and are built to last based on my own almost 30 years of personal experience with the brand."
"This power amplifier is so well designed that it worked well with any speaker that I threw at it."
"But for $899, the 275 v.2 gets you a lot of power and very good sound. And if my experience with Parasound is any indication, it also gets you an amp that will be reliable and last a long, long time."
Home Theater Forum, November 2021
"Most satisfying, though, is the extreme sound quality this Bay Area team manages to extract from some of the most modest of physical profiles. The New Classic 275 v.2 is no exception to the rule. Stack two of these skinny slabs in your rack for Atmos flyovers, or plonk it on your desk with a streamer for a highly rewarding bask in your jazz collection. I don't think you will be disappointed."
