Parasound Halo Integrated vs Yamaha AS2100


I'm looking at buying a new amp and I have a line to get either of these amps at a large discount from retail. I will be pairing them with Martin Logan Motion 40 tower speakers and the main music source will be vinyl. Looking for feedback or info to help me make a decision. Also and welcome to better suited options of integrated amps in the under 3k range. 

Thanks

I have the Soloist 1 and think it's terrific. The two Belles dealers on another thread differed over preference for Soloist or Aria, though the Aria is much cheaper and has a phono stage...
the Yamaha does not have a DAC but is an amp and preamp, the Parasound also includes a DAC
The 2100 sounds way better than previous Yamaha's...few of the responders have actually listened to it...now if Parasound had used the actual parts John Curl designed for it...
