Glad three people got on here to post Nelson Pass' thoughts on the matter.  +1, +1, +1.

Do you like your current amp the JC1?  Are you keeping it?  If yes, buy the Anthem.  If not, then why change horses?  Ie, buy the Parasound JC5.  I have the Parasound C2 pre and love it.  I'm now using a DAC Maraschino 60 volt amp, beats my 50 to 70 lb hi current amps in every way.

lordrootman:  Now you have me intrigued.  I bought the Parasound A21 because I thought it was just beautiful with the top panel removed (specs were good too, but it was the looks that got me).  Now I have to check out that Anthem STR you are drooling over!
