THX certification is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I`m not a digital amp fan yet. Never heard the Sunfire. As a satisfied owner, Parasound gets my vote.
This is my chance to get even for the very poor service I have had from Parasound. I admit I am biased between these two amps; have owned both. sunfire is the way to go for sure. More pride of ownership, better quality, ownership of a product made by a legend. But most surley way better reliability period. Both sound great though.
THX rating is important when dealing with companies that design and sell borderline equipment. For well designed, quality amps it is meaningless - it just adds to cost due to licensing expenses. Both Parasound and Sunfire meet or exceed THX specs, so I would be comfortable with either company's products. Enjoy! :o)
