Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???

@mr_m 

Really? I undermined your opinion? My opinion is based on real experience with all three Rogue integrateds. Yours is based on a biased manufacturer's assertion.

The CMII is the far better amp. They don't even belong in the same conversation. You obviously have very little or zero experience with tube amps if you think tube rolling a Pharaoh gets it even remotely close to producing real tube sound. If you ever get a chance to hear a real tube amp you'll understand why. 

I had an opportunity to hear a couple systems with Primaluna.  For a tube integrated, I actually think they are pretty damn good sound quality.  Very good resolution for a tube amp, but I can definitely hear just a bit of the "tube amp sonic signature".  You would have to listen to some tube amps to know what I mean, but even then, the Primaluna is not that "colored" in the sound as other tube amps are.

The Parasound HALO Integrated is actually going to sound a lot warmer.  Yes, it will have more power and it will have great dynamics and slam, but will have very warm and rolled off highs (the high frequency resolution will not be nearly as good as the Primaluna).  The Parasound resolution can be fixed with a massive fuse overhaul (there are at least 4 fuses internally in addition to the main A/C fuse - recommend Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme for the main fuse and Furutech for all internal fuses).  Stock Parasound will actually sound a lot like the Marantz "warm" sonic signature.

The Anthem MRX 510 receiver is probably one of the highest resolution and fastest sounding receivers.  The Parasound Halo will be the complete opposite and may sound too warm/dry.
---
The Primaluna will probably be the closest sound to the Anthem.  It will have a little less "speed", but it will have very good resolution and "sing" much better than the Anthem.  Be aware that the Primaluna is a tube amp and will only have about 43 watts per channel (or 27 watts in triode mode).  The tubes will start to saturate at about half power and you'll get tube saturation/distortion.  So if you are out for seriously loud music with lots of bass, the Primaluna will likely fall down in this aspect.

The Parasound Halo will be able to slam out the loud bass a lot better, but it is warm/dry in comparison (unless you do fuse upgrade).  Even with fuse upgrade, the Parasound will likely not "sing" quite as good as the Primaluna.  Your RAAL tweeters are very fast responding and if you are listening with the Anthem MRX, you could be dissapointed with the Parasound (unless you do fuse upgrade).

I have not heard the Naim. The McIntosh integrateds will have the typical "Mac" sound. The McIntosh will have slightly mild/laid-back midrange and midbass. The sound is excellent, don't get me wrong, but it is not a resolution monster like your Anthem. I think the Primaluna will have more resolution and attack/detail than the McIntosh, but it will not have the power. The McIntosh is not nearly as warm as the Parasound, but not as fast/detailed as the Anthem/Primaluna.

In a comparison, the Parasound will have excellent "slam" in the midbass and midrange, but it will have rolled-off highs. The McIntosh will have pretty good resolution in the highs, but slightly rolled off midrange (best I can describe it). Both will have good bass authority.

Interesting, thanks @auxinput I only heard the MA8900 in the store once with a pair of Sonus Fabers and it was excellent but almost a bit bright. Could have been anything from the room setup to the speakers though. I was impressed but not exactly wow'd if that makes sense. 

I'm not worried about power. My speaker specs are here (http://www.ascendacoustics.com/pages/products/speakers/SRT/srtspecs.html) but I also do not play at extreme volumes. I'm not worried about power output from the Primaluna or the McIntosh. I think they would power my speakers fine there.
