3 amps to choose from, Need some advice (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Wawryk]

Hi everyone,

I've narrowed it down to 3 choices for amplifiers:

Parasound HCA-2205AT
Audio Refinement Multi 5 (125WX5)
Rotel RMB-1095


The Parasound and Rotel I cannot listen to before purchasing, the audio refinement I currently have at home and like it soo far, sounds much better than the amps in my Onkyo 898. I can get a good deal on all threee, so price really isnt a concern. I just want whats sounds best and something that has lotsa reserve power.

I'm using B&W CDM9NT and CDMCNT for speakers.
My system is about 50/50 music movies.

What do you guys think?

Jeff

I have no experience with Audio refinement but I can tell you that the Parasound and the Rotel are excellent amps. Parasound is a little warmer than the Rotel. The Rotel is a little more to the neutral side. Plus Rotels are a good match to B&W's. I think you wouldn't go wrong with either.
