I’ve had a great experience with my Rotel power amp putting out 200 WPC into 8 ohms and 350 into 4. Plenty of control for my Arendal 1723 towers that crave good clean power. Upgraded from a top of the line Denon putting out 140 WPC at 8 ohms in 2 channel Mode. I looked at a Parasound but passed. Your experience may differ. Suggest making sure you can return if necessary. I don’t think the manufacturer has that option available.
new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080
Parasound is having a sale on siver. Audiogon moderator just removed the post.
any advice on an A21+ to replace an old Rotel RB1080? system is MartinLogan ESL-X . I have an top end tube audio-gd preamp with a PSA-DacJr and Eversolo source. SVS micro sub. I think that the Rotel is the bottleneck for clarity. I recall it being a step up from my Adcom 5400, still warmish but with better bass control. With the tube pre, I was hoping to upgrade to a strong Class A neutral SS like a Pass or Coda. but probably never have the budget. for $1500, do you think it would be worth it? or too similar to the Rotel
