Parasound Halo jc1 or a21

I have a pair of B&W nautilus 802. While I would like to buy the jc1 monoblocks they take up a ton of space. Question is, does the a21 sound as good as the jc1 (close is good - there is a reason the jc1 is 4 times as much) and will the a21 be able to drive the 802's.
I don't play the system particularly loud but want to get a broad and deep base response.
Maybe I should think about a tube amp.
Look forward to your input.
Thanks.

The answer to your question is "no" the A21 does not sound as close to as good as the JC1's. I have owned both and the JC1's represent a great value for mono-blocks.

I currently own the Bob Carver 180 tube amps and they would be a great match for your speakers. These are incredible amps!
