Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3?


Morning, I am thinking of upgrading my Musical Fidelity M1PWR Monos but would appreciate advice on which amp would fit my Harbeth 7 speakers best.This is a set up in my home office and I do not want an amp that runs hot. I have the opportunity to buy one of the following:Ayre V5xe ($2,500)
Parasound A21 ($1,500)
Benchmark AHB2 ($3,000)
Bryston 4B3 (~$3,800)Thanks.

I think it all depends upon whether you like a warm sound or a brighter sound and how they match with your speakers.  I would certainly try to audition them if you can side by side or at least sit down for a couple of hours to hear what sound most pleasing.  What will you like best when hearing them for two hours.  This group should be a big help.  You are lucky to have them.  This is the right place to start.  Ask them about what to be prepared to listen for.
