Raulgias, your findings don't in anyway mirror our findings, as per price if an amplifer is $10k JC 1 and the other amplifier is $12k-14k that is basically in the same price range.
So in our system first with the Kef 207.2 and then the Kef Blades the more expensive amplifiers sounded signfigantly better.
The fact that the other amplifiers were a bit more expensive means that most people would pay the difference. We don't recommend an amplifier just by price alone, which is why we had the amplifier in the first place.
We purchased the amp and preamp based on raves from reviewers and the forums, without hearing the amplifiers.
Once we got them into our store, burned them in, and tested them vs other amplifiers which came into our store a bit latter did we come to our conclusions.
We continue to work with Parasound because they make excellent products for the money, the reality is that the more expensive gear sounds better as it should.
If you honestly think that a Boulder was not better than a Parasound, then it could be a couple of things, one a gross mismatch sonically with the Boulder amplifiers which tend to be sonically a lean, clean sound with big bass or two something was not right with the Boulder amplfiers.
