Will the Benchmark ahb2 amp sound better than Parasound hca 1500a?

This will be to run my Magnepan LRS that demand power. I am happy with my Parasound hca 1500a but thought the Benchmark may be night and day.

Thoughts?

I use my LRS for vinyl only so a lack of sub don't bother me but if it helps if I get the Benchmark that's good. Another option is to get an A21+.

I got the CODA #16 indirectly because of the A21+. The CODA #16 is better than the A21+. I am saying the AHB2 under the right circumstances is my best amp.

My KK DXD12012 subs uses XLR but I have it connected with RCA. Looked up the Coda 16 just to see info on it and it is a nice looking amp but way out of my budget.

Many people swear how good Hegel is. Have you ever heard a Hegel in action?
