That was one of the reasons I was learning towards Parasound Halo as a whole. They seem to hold their value and are U.S. based making any problems easier to deal with.
I was considering the A21 before I looked into an integrated. The Specifications seemed great for the price point and the reviews were all top notch.
I agree with you on the speakers. As I've been playing with the various integrateds I mentioned what I thought were weakness in the speakers had nothing to do with the speakers.
The integrated Parasound and Rotel boosted the mid range and bass response that seemed a little weak before on the Yamaha AVR as a lone paired component.
At the moment i have the budget to replace all components if I choose to do so. So I am also looking at various speakers.
However, I definitely agree with you after pairing my speakers with various integrated amplifiers that the source, (amplification) is the most important.
