Levinson, Pass labs or Parasound?


Driving a pair of Soundlab A-1's which would be a better bet. All three amps below are approximately the same cost on the used market. The parasound mono's have had exceptional reviews when specifically mated with the A-1's but have no real way of demoing them. Anyone have experience with any of the following amps?

Parasound JC-1's

Pass Labs X-350

Mark Levinson NO:335

Thanks for your input

There is an auction for a Symphonic line RG-1 at $800 with no reserve. I have owned 2 of these. They are OUTSTANDING amplifiers. Period. Smooth, quick, and exceptional control over drivers. IMHO leaps and bounds over the 3 you mention. 100W class A is not as "tiny" as it sounds. These amps will put out at least 65 amps of current. Mine produced almost 70 amps. i actually heard two of these with A-1's and it was a knockout! I did not like the Halo with them although a Simaudio W5 stereo sounded very good.
