I have a Parasound HCA-2200 Mk2 and I wouldn't trade it for a spotted hog. My Apogee ribbon speakers need a lot of current, and the HCA-2200 delivers, definitely. John Curl designed this amp (as well as other Parasounds) and it's quite an incredible piece of equipment.
It does seem particularly bomb proof. I took it to the local authorized Parasound shop to get it serviced when I bought it. The tech tightened the grounds and told me he dind't think that he would ever have to do any serious work on it. He said that they just don't break and they have very high quality parts. I've owned many other amps, most were more expensive than the Parasound. But the Parasound is exactly what I need for my speakers and it's performance/cost ratio is off the charts.
