Reviews 

Stereophile March 2020
"The new Parasound A 21+ was impossible to fault... remarkably powerful, transparent and quiet. Anyone in the market for a stereo power amp would be well advised to consider the Parasound A 21+, especially those who believe that they must spend more."

Home Theater Review Feb 2020
"With its high-quality chassis, thoughtful circuit design, and excellent sound quality, the A 21+ offers an impressive value proposition. Those shopping for a stereo amplifier in this price range should give the A 21+ serious consideration."

Positive Feedback January 2019
"The A 21+ represents a new unparalleled value in amplifier performance. Details like soundstage depth, focus, and texture is where the A 21+ puts real distance from the A 21. The A 21+ is exceptional and provided an awe-striking feel."
