Need help...Rotel or Parasound amp for my Vandesteens model 2 sig?

I am putting together a 2nd system in my bedroom and I want to keep the cost down. Which combo is going to give me the best sound? 

1) Rotel 1570 integrated amp.
2) Parasound Halo intergrated amp OR
3) Sony ta-1 intergrated amp.

I listened to all kinds of music and I will be adding a music streamer as well.
Any info is greatly appreciated 
thanks,
Matt

The Parasound is going to be the better integrated.
Rotel is better w/ separates. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Thanks for the input. I think I'm leaning towards Parasound.
But, I was just thinking, if I have a budget of around $1500 is there an older intergrated amp you can recommend such as an older krell or bryston amp? Man this hobby keeps my head spinning!

If saving money is your first priority then pick the least expensive and see if you like how it sounds.  Otherwise you haven't said what you like in terms of sound quality.  The "best sound" is entirely subjective and is only an opinion, your opinion in fact.  If you give us more meaningful criteria we may be able to give you better direction.
