The Parasound - NewClassic 2250 V2 - Power Amplifier Review shines a light on a unit engineered to deliver uncompromising performance. Boasting THX Ultra2 certification and a robust 275 watts per channel into 8 Ω (all channels driven), the 2250 V2 is a powerhouse for discerning audiophiles.

Power Where It Matters

From effortless control of demanding speakers at 2 Ω (400 W per channel) to bridgeable mono capacity of 750 W, the 2250 V2 handles dynamic transients with 45 A peak current. Its low impedance stability ensures even the most challenging speaker loads are driven with authority, delivering slam, grip and neutrality in equal measure.

Technical Deep-Dive

• THX Ultra2 Certified: Guarantees stringent performance thresholds, ultra-low distortion (0.015% at typical listening levels) and wide bandwidth (20 Hz–50 kHz).
• Fully Discrete Circuitry & Toroidal Transformer: Minimises noise and maximises current delivery, with a damping factor over 150 at 20 Hz for exceptional speaker control.
• Versatile Load Switch: Optimises stability and response across 2–3 Ω and 4–8 Ω loads, making it ideal for both archaic and modern transducers.
• Protection & Control: DC servo, relay circuits, thermal indicators and switchable high-pass filters (20 Hz/40 Hz) keep your speakers safe without compromising sound quality.
• Flexible Trigger Options: DC 12 V or audio sensing with two sensitivity levels, plus front-panel A/B speaker buttons and rear lockout for multi-zone applications.
