B&k 200.2 , audio research 100.2 . Parasound a21 . Which one to buy?

Thank you for the honest review ! You said monitor audio won't play loud , but are they a good speaker to even match an amp to them? 

Where is your parasound dealer located ??

Would you say the marantz is a good pre pro for music or would a halo intergrated be better ?? I really want to try that audio research amp though

I really want that tube sound without having to go tubes , so sounds like the 100.2 wins over vs the parasound a21 . The intergrated halo interested me because I like the sabre Dac and always thought  that a intergrated would be better than using a AV prepro for music 

Well I must ask,  is the 100.2 really worth 1700 ? Does it help make non cd music sound decent still or is it strictly an amp for high quality sources? I guess I'm stuck over the more is better mentality, with wanting a higher powered amp , thinking it will do a better job than a 100 watt amp. I really wish I could demo the amps I'm interested in instead of having to buy something , while crossing my fingers hoping that's it's the real deal !!
