I choose a Parasound 2205AT over B&K Reference amplifiers about 8 years ago, and have been very pleased. I have recently compared it to some other amps, that I would like to have instead of this amplfier. Drop me a note if you are interested in mine. I might go to a Hi-Bred Tube/SS solution, or possibly tube for my 2-CH and SS for the rest of the theater, so the Parasound is available. Considered a benchmark piece back in 2000-2002 for under $5k.
