Classe or McIntosh Is Classe going out of businesssed

Norm, why only these two models? There is a world of multi channel amps as well as Mono blocks. 

Need to know more about budget and what speakers you have to recommend other possible alternatives.

With Classe going under service might be an issue.

Classe builds in China now ! McIntosh still builds in America , no doubt what I would buy !

If your Parasound is a Halo amp and being used in a HT system, what is to be gained by replacing it? The Halo's are fine amps in their own right. Are you looking for more power?


  

McIntosh makes excellent amps especially their integrated amps.
Their customer service is first rate. You really can't go wrong with one of their products. And they will be here in future years.
Always stay away form companies that are going under.

I have owned McIntosh equipment for a while now and have never been disappointed.
Whether you like McIntosh or not, it does tend to hold its value much better than most other brands.  I've been successful recently, purchasing nearly new McIntosh electronics (where the original purchaser takes the "hit" on the depreciation), only to find that when I go to sell the items (over a year later, but when the item is still a current model), I get nearly what I paid for it.
