Parasound Halo Integrated vs Yamaha AS2100


I'm looking at buying a new amp and I have a line to get either of these amps at a large discount from retail. I will be pairing them with Martin Logan Motion 40 tower speakers and the main music source will be vinyl. Looking for feedback or info to help me make a decision. Also and welcome to better suited options of integrated amps in the under 3k range. 

Thanks

I have a Parasound Halo Integrated in my second system.  It replaced a Rogue Cronus Magnum tube integrated and I couldn't be happier.  I am driving Golden Ear Triton 2 speakers with it.  I listen to this setup at least 6 hours a day, every day and I never, ever get listener fatigue.  The built in dac is an excellent ESS dac and the amp is dead quiet.  It also has tone controls which I feel is a great feature.  I am a very happy camper.  I never liked the sound of Yamaha which I had back in the 90's although I have not heard the newer ones.
