Mcintosh vs Parasound
I second the Mac thing, I own a c2200 a mc275 a 252 and their cd205..its gooood stuff,sounds excellent and musical, their build quality is probably second to none. Break in time is nil, sounds great right out of the box. So sick and tired of amps ... 
McIntosh MC402 and MC501
I have heard both in my home, the 501s are better, I currently have a 252, i would either get another one or get the 501s 
NAIM Alternatives-from people who have switched.
I have owned a fair amount of Naim. I think it is good gear and has a sound. It gets more intense as you go up the line...could be good or bad depending on you tastes. I prefer Mcintosh tube gear..also has a sound,which I prefer overall.I find it ...

powering klipschorns with high power mcintosh amps
Hello I have Khorns and have used a mac 252 amp with them with fine results BUT the whole majic of the khorns is their efficiency and I have found they sound best with tubes (after all they were designed around them) I use a mac mc275, a vtl st85 ...

Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
My Picks.....Klipschorn, Snell type A, rogers ls3/5a.kef 105.2, Quad, Dahlquist DQ10,magnepan, B&W 802, haven't heard some of the newer ones like avant garde etc 
klipsch horns
I have had Khorns for the past ten years, VTL works wonders with them,both the integrated amp and their seperates, right now I use the 2.5 with the st 85 it simply kills. 
Best Used SS Amp For VTL Preamp?
many choices for this fabulous preamp, I have one and have used it with Linn, consonance. I know people who have had good luck with Bryston,probably any amp you like will sound great with this preamp, hey try a vtl tube amp for grins 
That tube sound
without a doubt the VTL 2.5 is a killer I have had mine for about 2 yrs and its great, they priced it too cheap, its sonics are much more than the 1695 price tag, a true best buy in hi end audio
