Parasound halo a23 125wpc or Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2 300wpc or Parasound New Classic 2125 125wpc all are 2 channel power amps I also, have a 15" powered sub. I'm mostly interested is musical quality with good dynamics. Thanks!

All are very good amps with Emotiva being probably the best "value". Emotiva have a very nice Class A, A/B monoblock amplifier in the XPA-1L. It produces 250 watts/ch. into 8 ohms (500 watts/ch. into 4 ohms) in Class B mode and 35 watts/ch. in Class A mode. It offers automatic switching from Class A to Class B.

All Emotiva amps come with a 30 day in-home trial and a 5 year transferable warranty. This would allow you to purchase the XPA-1L and listen to it in your system, always a plus.

Another vote for Parasound. Have no experience with Emotiva, but I doubt it's up to the sound quality and reliability I've experienced with Parasound. Cheers.
