Best multi-channel 5/7 power amp for Home Theater


I have a Onkyo Pro SC-885 pre processor and it sounds really good with my Parasound 2205A 5 channel power amp(220x5). The parasound is rather old and I would like to upgrade it....Any suggestions......

I love the Parasound that that you have, I don't really think you are going to get a huge leap forward with anything newer, unless you went way up in price. I think the 2205 sounds every bit as good as the A51 they make, and better than almost any multi channel amp I have heard. Amps have just not changed that much, unless you move to an ICE amp.

You could add a seperate front end amp for music and keep the Parasound for center/surround channels only??
I agree with MAC DADDY
Going with a XLR processor and digital amps cleans up the HT
In response to Somec59, one issue is my Onkyo pro is full XLR and the Parasound is only RCA. And I like Ericjcabrera's Idea of the Sunfire Signature power amp. I have heard alot of great things about it. I also like the two sound options for the speaker hook-ups. About the cleaning up issue, I am installing a new Synergistic Research QLS9 outlet strip tonight for my full Tesla set-up, Accelerator bi-wiring all around,4-T2's,T3,Precision AC and Quattro with 12 leads to the active sheilding. It replaced a PS Audio Quintescence. I will then cap it off with a S.R Powercell for conditioning. Maybe I will wait to hear the system with the QLS 9, then the Powercell and after re-evaluate the amp issue. Thx all for your suggestions, till next thread....
