    The Parasound A21 is a very good amp for the money. Maybe the best at that price point?

    I would have a look at Luxman as i know they go very well with JM lab's. It may be worth having a listen the Keiths Allnic amplifiers. (coops).

    Hi Hifi addict!
    I can get a 2nd hand Parasound for around £750. Is that a good deal?

    Accuphase amps work very well with jm labs, as do McIntosh amps.

    I have a set of 1007be focals that work amazingly with both an accuphase E-550 and a McIntosh MA6900

    Theres a nice pioneer A-09 for sale on this forum too that would likely match the JM labs well.

    £750 seems like a fair price. They are about £1500 new.

    how you finding the A21 with your focals

    i keep trying to think of cost effective ideas for my 1007 be's. I would love the likes of the Accuphase or McIntosh, but for now they are just waay out of my budget.

    You can always go for a TVC. There is plenty of drive with the A21. Another one I like a lot is the Bel Canto Pre 2 They are not made any more but I'm sure you can find one second hand.

    Wish I seen this thread earlier got an Accuphase E-213 for sale - meant to go well with Focal and my previous E308 went well with my 1007's.
