The HSU's low pass crossover max's out at 180Hz, the Parasound's low pass crossover maximum setting is 140Hz, so I guess I won't be missing anything. I have read sporadic reports of Parasound equipment having reliability issues, but the 10 year warranty makes me feel better about it. And these reports are nowhere near as rampant as, maybe, reports about NAD's new line of A/V receivers...stay away from those!
Creek vs. Parasound
I've narrowed it down to this: Creek 5350se ($1100 at music direct) vs. Parasound Classic 2100 preamp/2150 amp. Wondering what everyone's opinion is about how either of these would sound with B&W 685s and a HSU VTF 1 sub. Its a 2.1 system so that is why I like the Parasound preamp's built in bass management. Room is smallish, 12x14x8, listening preference is moderate volume to loud, music is a broad range from jazz to pop to IDM to hip hop and even some classical. I do plan to upgrade speakers someday (not soon) and do not want to have to buy new electronics to run them. Thanks.
