Ordered my new amp today... been a long road!

Ordered a Parasound A21+ this morning after a year of saving and selling and buying new speakers... This should be it!

FINALLY!

Haven't sat and listened with a gin n tonic in over two years... My Martin loans sh#t the bed every year for about 3 years so I bought a pair of 10T's... then my Mac amp wouldn't power them ... sold that now on to the A21+

Excited is not a strong enough word. Thanks for all the advice and wisdom!

Now to find a good 30 ga. power cable! lol

Thanks... Loved the logans when they worked... the Vista's were trouble. I have owned ADS most of my life and a good friend and rep in the business had a friend with a pair of 10t's he was selling... I didn't pay that much attention until I found out Micheal Kelly's history. I got the Logans up to spec and sold them pretty cheap. Bought the AA's with stands without hearing them... 4 hr drive... from my friend. I used them with the MC7100 but no balls to runs the 10T's. Sold it and bought the A21+. I have a simple C-41 Mac pre and great simple cables... 

It shipped yesterday so by the 30th I think it's go time.

I want more than ever to be done... I keep good systems... Still using my 1976 Boogie MK1 I bought from Randell Smith. 

I have a small room dedicated to music and painting... time to buy some Hendricks Gin... :)

I'll report back when she gets here and I trick my friend next door into getting her upstairs. lol

I’m 63 now.... lol

I dont think I can top these with my budget... started with  Crown IC 150 ...Crown DC 300... JBL L-100’s when in the AF 1977.

I have a stick up my @ss when it comes to streaming... cost’s are high and continuous bill per month and you dont own anything...

Great choice!  I use Parasound amplification with my 10T's and they are a great match.  Let us know your thoughts when you get the new system up and running.

Hi Cap
I had to respond to your post because I've had the same quest.
I have a mc250 to drive my Maggie 1.7i's and thought more power would be the answer. So I purchased the parasound p5 and a A21+. What a disappointing result. The p5 is a very good preamp with all kinds off versatility but the A21 had little or no soundstage and muddled up the highs. The lower range was all there but no musicality.  Very disappointed.  The little mc250 with 1/10 the power did better with the p5. I hope you kept your mac and your receipt.  Sorry for the bad news.
