Fully agree with Mitch2.Tried both in my system and arrive to the same conclusions. In brief, I found the VTL more musical and the Calypso more transparent and detailed.
Both should be tested in your system, don't know about your source nor the Parasound's sonic signature. But I would take special attention to the Magnepan's ribbon tweeters matched with a transparent preamp on long listening sessions.
