9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos?


I'm starting to assemble a new system. Budget $15000 to $20000. I'm leaning toward Triton Ones but I'm open to all suggestions. 25'x12' room. I'm a newbie to this stuff and appreciate the knowledge of the people on here.  No tubes. I'm just not interested in the maintenance. Any opinion appreciated.

I'm leaning toward the Golden Ear Triton Ones. I am open to suggestions though. I listen to mostly rock and a little old school R&B. I am strongly leaning to the JC1s. There are too many people that say its no contest between the two.
   Scott W. doesn't believe i need that much power but i don't want to get the itch to upgrade again. I appreciate the answers and any more would be appreciated. BTW JC1s @ Audio Advisor   Factory refreshed $3299 each. Anyone ever bought factory refreshed?

Thanks. I just purchased the JC1s factory refurbished from Audio Advisor. They come with the 5 year warranty as brand new. I know i'm doing it a little backward but i can audition these amps with numerous speakers locally.  Ive heard these amps with quite a few speakers already and feel they can be a good match with many.
Thanks guys. Any opinions on the Tritons? I just heard Dynaudio Confidence 1 on stands and those things really turned me around on stand mounted. Wow!

Scott, I may not need big amps but do they hurt? 

Too bad its hard to audition some of these class D amps. I really would like to hear them for myself to put it into perspective.
Pryso. I am starting at ground zero. I own a NAD 372 integrated with an Arcam cd player. Dynaudio Audience 72 speakers. I'm probably gonna put that downstairs and start fresh.

I will let you know when everything is up and running. I'm pretty excited. Don't tell my wife what this stuff costs. Lol. She has no clue. Does anyone think there is a better solution for 5k than Triton Ones? 
Opened box and sent back to Parasound for repair or refresh.  I wish all products were made in America but that's not the world we live in. 

I bought JC-1's and I never heard the Bel Cantos still. I'm still interested in hearing them. I like the JC-1's but I need new speakers to truly judge them.
