Parasound vs. Mccormack, Bryston,Classe


How about Parasound for H/T with Magnepan fronts and rear (no center or sub yet)? Also looking at Classe, Bryston and Mccormack. 25x10x8 basement room w/carpet.

At the moment I am using Bryston 7B monos for my L/R and a Parasound HCA-2205 for the center and surrounds. For the price difference the Parasound is a remarkable sounding amp. I thought there would be a larger disparity between it and the 7Bs. The Parasound isn't quite as even across the frequency spectrum, has a little more sparkle (coloring) in the treble, and isn't quite as transparent as the Bryston. But in terms of power and ability to involve its very good, and great for HT.
