Amplifier for Monitor Audio RX 8 system


Greetings: I own a Monitor Audio Silver RX 8 package (5.2 system with two MA subwoofers); currently I do not have a dedicated processor and use Pioneer Elite VSX 53 as my processor. I have a Parasound Halo A21 powering my fronts however would rather have one 5 channel/ 7 channel amp powering all speakers (for space constraints); at some point I would move to a dedicated processor with balanced outputs so the amp I will have must have balanced connections as well. I am looking at a Parasound Halo Amp (A51) or a Cary Audio 7.125 Amp - in case of the Cary Audio I will bi amp the front speakers as it is less powerful than the A51. In your opinion, what would match best with the MA silver speakers? Do you suggest a different amp? Many thanks for your help in advance.

Sincerely ...

"Without published specs, how does anyone know the dimensionality of an amp unless they take the word of someone is selling it?"

What specs do you look at to find the dimensionality of an amp?
