Anthem 225 vs Parasound A21 vs Emotiva Xpa 7 Gen 2

I also am very satisfied with my Anthem i225, playing vinyl, high definition through a MAC and CD's through a Rega Saturn with and without a Supreme DAC-9 depending on the CD and driving Spatial Hologram M4Ts.  The high power of the Anthem really helps control the bass even though the Spatial's are extremely efficient.  Good luck in finding your way to satisfying sound.  

Another +vote for Anthem 225. It is a very powerful integrated amp, high current as well. An excellent match for cd/sacd playback.
Happy Listening!

mancub1,
I like the Anthem as well. However I would put a preamp in front of the MCA225 or get your hands on a good used Anthem I225 Integrated. I own one and love it. It's used in a sepearate/second system fronted by the Oppo BDP105D.
