💪 Power That Moves You
The HALO JC5 is for listeners who want serious power and musical finesse all in one. Whether it's the punch of Kendrick Lamar, the warmth of classic rock, or cinematic movie nights, this amp delivers clarity, control, and emotion—without ever sounding strained.
Designed by audio legend John Curl and built to perform, the JC5 blends raw strength with precision. It’s a powerhouse that knows how to let the music breathe.
💬 What Listeners Say
- “The soundstage just bloomed. Bass is crisp… mids and highs are singing.”
- “Ridiculously high damping… bass is tight and controlled at all volumes.”
- “Effortlessness. Power when you want it, clarity when you need it.”
🛠️ Where It Fits in Your System
The JC5 acts as the powerhouse behind your speakers. It connects to a preamp or processor (via XLR or RCA) and delivers commanding performance for stereo setups or front channels in a home theater. If you ever need more firepower, the JC5s can be bridged as a 1,200-watt beast for mono use.
✨ Why It Stands Out
- 400 W per channel into 8 Ω, 600 W into 4 Ω (and up to 1,200 W bridged)
- High-bias Class A/AB operation with 12 W of pure Class A drive
- Stable into challenging loads down to 1.5 Ω
- Dual-mono design from transformer to binding posts
- Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs + high-quality connectors
🔍 Real-World Benefits
No matter what you listen to, the JC5 brings it to life:
- Hip-hop and rock come through with deeper, tighter bass and punch
- Jazz and acoustic recordings sound expansive and full of detail
- Movies feel cinematic, with clear dynamics and immersive depth

✅ Bottom Line
The HALO JC5 delivers power you’ll feel and control you'll appreciate. Strong, precise, and surprisingly musical, it's the amp that lets your system—and your music—shine.
