Up for your consideration from the world famous Redneck Stereo Salon is a beautiful sounding and reasonably priced 2 channel amplifier from Parasound the Zonemaster 2350. This amp is one very powerful amp that is stable with 8,4 and 2 ohm loads but when it comes to serious 2 channel listening power is meaningless if it does not sound good. The first time we listened to this amp we were not expecting much at all but from the first note we were blown away how good this amp was. It checks all the boxes a serious music listener wants and here is the icing on the cake it does it at a price way below what other amps cost that are at this level. It really is that good! Plus it has a bunch of cool extras that most amps do not have. (read the details below)
The Parasound ZoneMaster 2350 is a highly versatile, 2-channel Class D amplifier designed for custom installation and high-fidelity audio, delivering a robust 350 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 600 watts per channel at 4 ohms.
It is noted for a slightly warm, detailed sound with excellent treble, low-fatigue, and high reliability, making it a powerful, compact, and value-packed option for both audiophile and architectural speaker applications.

Build Quality: Designed for "redline" continuous, high-fidelity operation, the unit operates efficiently with little to no heat in typical use.
