Newbie looking for amplifier advice

 Real nice lifestyle system but
I think this fellow is attempting to invest in a serious performance system.
The Ryan 610s in my opinion are an extraordinary well balanced loudspeaker with serious attention to crossover detail, unique proprietary driver designs, years of research invested and overall build quality makes them a true benchmark in their range by sounding great at very low volumes, Medium, right up to robust which is got to be heard to be appreciated.
 As for the Belles Aria
series of amps personally I have yet to hear anything
get near these units with their unique clarity, openness and invitation into the music. A superb pairing together and both Made in USA.

Specifically, the Parasound Halo catches my attention but am concerned about DAC longevity and have been hinted that Parasound isn't such a value for money as, say, Emotiva.

Hinted by who?

I can't think of higher value gear than what Parasound produces especially its new HALO integrated.  The Ryans have a sensitivity of 86db and the Parasound has more than twice the power output of the Belles.  More power is always a good thing especially with speakers having that low of a sensitivity rating.

Hinted by a local dealer of Parasound, KEF and Emotiva. He made this statement based on the quality of parts used inside taking into account the suggested MSRP.

Ryan R610 seems to be a speaker which is easier to drive than specs would suggest. My first listen was at a dealer who used a 38 Wpc Line Magnetic 216IA tube amp. We were able to get to 75 dB in a large room with the volume dial at 9'o clock. 

Emotiva is a toy compared to the Parasound integrated amp.  I use one 8 hours a day in my secondary system powering Golden Ear Triton Two speakers and it sounds wonderful.  I had an Emotiva Dac around 5 years ago and quickly sold that piece of junk.  It was so bright, it could rip your ears off.

Does anyone run Parasound with Ryan speakers?
