Mcintosh vs Parasound


I'm considering going from a YBA Passion integrated amp at 100wpc to either the new mcintosh MC402 or the Parasound JC1. I'd likely get a matching preamp from whichever amp mfg i get. I'm driving Talon Peregrines with all of the upgrades. They are pretty efficient, but I'm trying to get a bigger sound. The YBA sounds clean and great, but doesn't move a lot of air. Opinions please?

I believe the JC1 needs 10000000 hours of break in, at least. However, 20000000 hours is best.

The MC402 is one of the best amps I have ever heard. Looks knockout too. Arthur
