Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit
The different from top of the line AVR than average AVR is the power supply, for example, Marantz SR-14 all five channel @1kHz measured continuous output power: 8 ohm 139.4 W 138.6 W 138.6 W 138.6 W 139.4 W 4 ohm 205.9 W 205.9 W 201.6 W 208.8 W ...

If you can find an old high quality AVR with multi channel analog input for cheap, pair it with miniDSP, you can build a 2/3 way active system for not much money.

I don’t think AVRs are all that bad. +1 Marantz SR-14 and SR-18 are my favorite, you can use it as power amp just remove the jumpers.

Amperage 2 vs 4 channels amplifier
Not necessarily, especially if the amps being compared are from different manufacturers, because (using your example) the amount of time the 50 amperes and 30 amperes can be supplied for is not usually specified. For example, the 50 amperes ma...

Amperage 2 vs 4 channels amplifier
Although an amplifier max current rating doesn't represent anything useful, however, if two amplifier both rated 100watt/channel, one max current rated 50A and the other one rated 30A, we can assume that the 50A rated one has a beefier power supply.

Connect the X30 analog out to Belles Aria mon in and the X30 analog in to Belles Aria mon out.

New Parasound blows fuse?
No big deal, just replace the fuse and try again as mofimadness suggested. 
Smoke on my power amp
I also like to point out that without a Zobel-network and output inductor built-in, some direct-coupled output solid state amplifier can becomes unstable and go into oscillation without connected to a load, especially connected to a pair of long... 
Just upgraded my Integrated Amp - now here a HUM out of my LUMIN - HELP
My new RCA interconnects from Anticables from the LUMIN to the Krell k300i My suggestion is try the Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 for better shielding. https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/audio/index.htm 
Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow
Of course I’m not taking this conversation very seriously. :-) That's what I thought

Plug your amp to a 'Dim Bulb Tester' to find out if any repair is required. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRFRwOnLsZI&t=15s
