Parasound or NAD? Recommendations for amp for Magneplanar 1.6 (1 Viewer)

[toddles]

Hi, I have a 5.1 setup but will likely go to a 7.1 or 7.2 later on. I currently have: Fronts: Magneplanar 1.6 Centre: Magneplanar MMG C Rears: Magneplanar MC1 Sub: REL Receiver: Pioneer SC-27 What do people recommend for either a 5 or 7 channel amplifier... I'm considering a NAD T975 (7-chan) or a Parasound A52 (5-chan), or would people recommend just getting a kick-ass 2-chan amplifier? Cheers

Considering that the Mags are 4 ohm and 86-88 sensitivity I would go with the Parasound Halo A 51 and if you want to add 7.1 later you could add a J C 1 or an A 21 amp.

Thanks for your input mccambley. I'd rather the A51 over the A52 but it's almost twice the price. If I was to consider that price then I'd probably open up my options to some other amps too. Someone also recommended a Sherbourn that's in the A52 and T975 price range but another guy I know said he wouldn't. Any other suggestions/ advice is more than welcome!
