Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos?

I have A23 amp, which sounded nice, but man it could heat a room. The A21+ must be a who lot hotter. I had a pair of M700s that I really liked, but my Emerald Physics KCIIs are an easy load. If you’re patient you can pick up a pair at a great price
Underwood HiFi was running a special on Audio Alchemy/Elac amps which should be really good options, and more powerful (I think)

Today is the last day to get the M700 at $1,798 (with qualifying trade-in).Just an FYI

The a21 looks and feels like a much more expensive amp than it is and it the a21+ improves on the originals upper mid and hi fq resolution I would jump on it. My only experience with class D is peachtree tho’ and while they’re smooth I don’t get the listening impression they’re quite there yet.

I know this is a little dated information, I’ve had the original A21, ICEpower amplifiers at the same time, which I’ve seen in at least some PS Audio amps.

I could literally not hear a difference, so I sold the A21.

However, I finally swapped those out for a Luxman integrated, which bested both of them. :)

I did by the way like both the Parasound and the ICEpower amps.  Nothing wrong with them at all, they sound punchy and quiet and warm. Just not as good as the Luxman.

but man it could heat a room The A21+ must be a who lot hotter.

This statement above is not correct naimfan, A21+ idle or at low level listening is drawing only 160w from the mains, as much as 2 x 75w light globes and with the size of those heatsinks they would be only warm to the touch. This amp would have around 8watts of Class-A on it. Sure if you want to pump it up to party levels, then yes it will get hotter.
