Bryoncunningham. I have a Parasound HCA 2205AT and want to upgrade. My parasound runs fairly hot(common for parasound).

I am looking into Wyred 4 Sound so I can get a mono modular amp. Say 3 dual monos + 1 mono, 3 channel and a 4 channel.etc. What are your thoughts on this brand and what else would you suggest?

I do think running seperate mono channels will have better seperation, dynamics, imaging and soundstage.

My pre processor is a Onkyo Pro SC885.

Bryoncunningham, I have a full Paradigm Signature S1 v2 system and an Anthem A5 or P5 would mate very well with the Paradigm's(same company). I had an Anthem D1 before and found it to be thin sounding. Friends told me if I didn't like the sound of the D1 I wouldn't like the Anthem amps. That's when I purchased my Parasound. Would a Parasound Halo A51 be a justifiable upgrade for the money??

The Wyred 4 Sounds as told will be better than my Parasound. Extremely dynamic, better 3d soundstage and imaging, and also run way cooler. What are your thoughts.

My investments in my home theater system are around 25-30g's.
