Parasound A23+ or NAD c275bee


Looking for some help deciding on a 2 channel stereo amp.  My budget is $1500.  The amp will be replacing an Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 amp.  My thought is the parasound or the NAD. The speakers being driven are Polk R700.  Am i on the right path with the subject line options? Looking for suggestions…

Thanks!

I have the A23+ and I have no desire to replace it.it just does everything right and sounds correct to my ear. Excellent tonality and impact. I did get tempted by one of those $3k Class D Gan amps but the A23+ sounded much better to my ear and my wife’s. It was a very obvious difference. Haven’t heard the Nad though.

Thank you Gents for the insight.  Parasound is tempting….also considering running two Schiit Vidar monoblocks.  

I recently purchased a Parasound A23+ for my power hungry Aerial CC-3 center speaker. I'm using the Balanced connection in a bridged mono mode. Big improvement for dialogue. Can't go wrong w/Parasound. Great price and performance.
