I came up with it based on my experience.

Zd542,I'm not here to argue with you, I stated "MY OPINION" based on my experiences. It's seems more and more people like to argue on Audiogon...been there done it and won't anymore. Audio is subjective and there are no absolutes!

I have Aerial 7Ts with a Parasound A21 amp and Parasound P5 preamp. Is there better/different, yes, but I submit you will have to spend significantly more money to get slightly better sound. 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
I received the Peachtree Grand and preferred the 220se. To my ears the 220se is more musical. I decided to sell my 220se, return the Grand and purchase a Parasound A21, P5, and Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 inter-connect cable. I should have everythi... 
Peachtree Audio
I respect what you're saying; however this was a refurbished Grand. My experience is that amps generally don't have night and day changes. In addition,how could I let a defective ampbreak in? 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
The Peachtree Grand Integrated is scheduled for delivery on 10/22/14. I will post my impressions after a couple of days. 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
Just as I was going to pull the trigger on a Parasound A21, I received an incredible deal on a new Peachtree Grand integrated X-1. The deal is so good, it's worth taking a chance...I will provide addition comments after receipt of the Grand Integr... 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
Zd542,Sure Ayre, Theta, BAT and Pass are considered to be great;however they are significantly more than the Parasound A21. Name a great amp that can be had for the same price of the A21. 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
I have decided to purchase the Parasound A21 for now. Now I'm looking for a preamp with a built in DAC. I thought about the P5, but someone who's ears I trust told me the P7 was much better. The problem is the P7 doesn't provide me the flexibility...

Zd542,I actually don't favor the amp, my experience mirrors yours. I have found more differences between preamps than any other components. The amp is just easier...determine how much I want to spend and find something that has adequate power that... 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
Zd542,I understand that I need to build a system. I had one before, but I thought I was done with music and sold everything. After several months I missed listening to music and decided to build a modest system. My prior system consisted of Wilson... 
Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
Drubin,Thanks for your opinion, but purchasing both of them isn't an option. I can get a Parasound A21 and Parasound P7 for about the same cost of the Bryston 4bsst 2.Dave_72,I don't have the opportunity to compare them directly, that's the only r... 
Preachtree Nova220se compared to Devialet
I submit this hobby is so much easier than we make it! Decide on how much money you want to spend and start listening. What complicates our hobby is all of the different "OPINIONS" and it's impossible to have a home audition of every piece of gear... 
Preachtree Nova220se compared to Devialet
Seanile,Is the Peachtree 220SE the absolute best for Aerial 7Ts? Probably not, but absolutes don't exist with audio, only preferences. You say, "I kind of thought the Peachtree wouldn't be a good match for speakers approaching 10K." Did you know t... 
Preachtree Nova220se compared to Devialet
I'm currently driving Aerial 7Ts with a Peachtree 220SE. My room is 20' x 24'. I'm very satisfied with the sound. I know other amps may sound better, but at what cost. I don't want to spend 10x the cost, to receive relatively small improvements. I...
