Newbie looking for amplifier advice

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?

Look at Marigo audio dots for the large window - they work wonders with the glass. Consider free audition of the Nuprime line of integrateds with DAC

(((I can't think)))
  I can see that but here you needed to listen first.

((( 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.)))

Belles/Ryan works real well together.
 Sometimes there is more to music then just numbers.
 Now, wouldn't It have been cool if you actually experienced a Belles Aria before you dismiss it?

Relax brother and read my post again. You post twice in this thread and both are attacks. I never dismissed the Belles. I just stated a fact - the Parasound has more than twice the power output. With speakers at 86db, this is something to be considered. And the iFi Retro Stereo is not a lifestyle system; its an integrated amp.

OK, we get it. You like Belles so we’ll mark you down as an owner of the Belles. Or you’re a dealer and if so, you may want to add a disclaimer and not sell by attacking the competition.  Now that is what's not cool!
