B&K ref 70 vs. Sunfire TGP-5 which is the best?
Off the subjust butConsidering B&K want "BK" and ATI is still sorting things out. I would hold off on any b&k purchases. B&K did have some great stuff, but something like a REF 70 being so new in the product line. I would hate for you ...

Krell showcase or other 5 channel amp
DIW,Totally agree with on being suspicious on the new Krells. I'm not 100% fimilair with your individual Parasound Amp, but I don't think it's going to be an upgrade. If I were you I would look at, Bryston/Lexicon, Plinius, Theta, there was a Coda...

Integrated Amps: Arcam & Audio Refinement
I think both people above said it best, both of these units are nice good sounding Equipment they will get you excellent Performance to Money Ratio. But you don't have to Spend $1200 to get them, I would say Audio Refinement used is running $400-$...
