Audio research 100.2 any good ?????


I am thinking of buying a audio research 100.2 amp . I am driving monitor audio silver 8 speakers and want a nice warm sound . Is the audio research a good amp @ only 100 watts per channel , or should i step up to a parasound a21 ?

Thereis an AR 100.2 for sale right now. 

The sller had 2 and I bought the other one. 
Make him an offer, he seamed preaty reasonable and honest. 

Good luck.
I have been lucky enough to own some of the best while working in the Audio business and before and after.  That said, the 100.2 is very good.  Of the two I had one had a transformer buzz that did not come through the speakers but was noticed at very low late night listening.  I had a decent system using this amp which included a CJ ART pre and MG-20 Magnepans and all Wireworld Gold Eclipse connects and wire.  It was one of the more enjoyable systems in my history.
