I doubt the power difference will matter much, the Proceed is a better amp in my opinion. I swapped out my HPA-3 for a Mark Levinson ML433 and the difference was subtle at best. Remember, Proceed WAS ML experimental line to try out digital, so the amps are exceptional.
Proceed HPA3 vs Parasound Halo A31 for Aerials
I've been using a Proceed HPA3 to power my three LR5's being used for left, right, and center.
I am considering switching to a Parasound Halo A-31. Does anyone here have any experience using this or the A51 with their Aerials? I am wondering if I will be giving anything up to the Proceed regarding sound quality and/or dynamics. The Proceed does have more power; 500 watts into 4 ohms. I believe the Parasound only puts out 400 watts at 4 ohms.
