Although they normally don't get mentioned in "High End" audio discussions, I'm a huge fan of Parasound. I have owned amps that cost 2 and 3 times what the average Parasound is worth.....and I always go back to Parasound.
Great power, high current, built well, designed well (John Curl) and a great company to deal with.
I currently own three - HCA-1500A's and one HCA-1000A and it would take one hell of an amp to make me ditch the HCA-1500A's and like I said I have tried my fair share.
So my two cents, take a look at the HALO A 21 as it just might surprise you. If you can free up some more cash, look at the HALO JC1 mono blocks. At 400W into 8ohms, power will not be a problem with the JC1's!
