Thanks for the feedback. I have used and love my Parasound Halo JC1's - have had them for years (2008??) and have powered every speaker I have had.
I'm just wondering if I should buy another pair and bi-amp?

Stereophile measured the JC1's power:
"...clipped at 545 into 8 ohms"
"with 1154 available into 4 ohms"
and
"no less than 4.2 KW into 1 ohm"

"Current output of 64.7A!"

Your JC1's have plenty of power to drive the Salon 2's to very loud levels. I owned the Salon 2's for over two years with the Pass Labs XA-100.5's and they would make them play to ear splitting levels. So no worries.

Best,
Ken

Not worries indeed. Buy the things and get on with your climb up the hill, and make sure you get a screaming deal on them because screaming deals are available. The Salon2s remain one of the world's best speaker bargains and will mate well with the Parasound bruisers you already have.

Can't wait to hear your impressions!

You know......There's a pair for sale here on AA. Definitely worth subscribing to AA!

For those of you lucky to have these - will 400 w / 8 ohm - 800 w/ 4 ohm monobloc amps be "enough" to get them to loud levels? Just worried about the 86db/spl rating. Especially since I was looking at JBL 4367s with 94db / spl efficiency...

My room is 21x19x8

I purchased mine from Ken about 2 years ago. Great price, seamless transaction. Never a regret.

You can find some amazing deals on both new and used gear in the marketplace.
Come on in, the water's fine. :D

So? Did you pop for them, Pio?

You know, I've heard the Salons served by a brute of a Bryston and by a big Classe and, for the life of me, I still think that my Ayre VX-5 Twenty (175 into 8 and 350 into 4) serves the Salons to SPLs that I have yet to explore. At the loudest levels tolerable, the the control over output is amazing.

I'm dubious about the calls for more and more power for these speakers.

Still on the fence - the price is just incredible, but I have not made the move yet.... you know you will be the first person to get the pictures...
