Having had an Acurus 250, I feel you can not go wrong with it. Drove my NHT 2.9s which were power hungry very well. It has a great built quality and really a great taste of getting into better gear. Only ever had a problem with the power on/off indicator light. Which was replaced by myself with part from Acurus easily. Having said such, you may be better off going with the Parasound, it has always had a great rep, and has shown to yet be in production.
