Sunfire TGA-7401 vs. Parasound Halo A51

I have the Klipsch RF-7 main speakers, RC-7 center, and RS-7 surrounds. I am looking to get a separate amplifier for the speakers. Currently, I am running them off of an A/V receiver. Many people have said that these speakers "open up" with more power.

I am looking at the Sunfire TGA-7401 and the Parasound Halo A51. Any comments/opinions will be appreciated.

So far, I've gathered that the Sunfire has a warmer sound to it while offering less detail (a more mushy sound). The Parasound is more neutral and offers more detail. Is this true? Which would you recommend? I am leaning towards the Sunfire at this point due to it running much cooler (my A/V stand/shelf is closed all around expect the front), has a warmer sound that will offset the brighter nature of my speakers, and has more power.

My Klipsch RF-63/RC-64/RS-35 system also has sub 3ohms dips and my Acurus A200FIVE has no problems at all handling this job. My previous B&K amps also were up to the task and passed with flying colors. I do think the Parasound is probably an overall better amp than the Sunfire but both will do just fine.

I do have another Acurus A200FIVE that I am going to sell if that may be an option.

Maybe ask your same question over at the Klipsch forum. Gobs of RF-7 owners over there powering them with many different amps.
