Switch from Parasound JC-1 to Bel Canto Ref 1000?


I'm pretty darn happy with the Parasound amps except for the heat and size. I was thinking if the Bel Canto Ref 1000 mk 2s sounded as good they would be a lot more ideal. In the summer I am having to turn off the JC-1s whenever I'm not listening since they put out so much heat. The Bel Cantos would be ideal since they don't put out the heat and they even have more power and could always be left on.

I am using the Dynaudio S 3.4 speakers now and am possibly considering an upgrade to something like the C4 Dynaudios or Revel Salon 2s or Studio 2s.

Anyone who can compare and contrast these amps I would love that.

Thanks, Ryan

Yes I agree to listen yourself but strongly disagree that you might be disappointed.

That is pure speculation and a voice of inexperience speaking.

And before you go there, I don't care how many years you have in the business/hobby. That's simply a disingenuous supposition because you and the OP could have diametrically opposed listening cues, keys, and expectations.
Show me where I'm wrong instead of diverting the issue and and name calling.

I thought so.
