As I’ve said I’ve heard the Parasound, and they do not lack in HF to me. Maybe you listened to a dud one.

As these are comments made on the highs, from reviews.
The sound was anything but mellow with the Spendors’ tweeters firing at ear level, but joined the Spendor’s crispness to the Hint 6’s wholeness and refinement. It almost felt as if I were leaning into the Trondheim Soloists’ performance of Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings in C
.
Parasound never pushed the Quads’ ribbons into dangerous territory. Instead, music sounded brilliant and tangible, with a pulsating energy that made the strings of the Trondheim Soloists absolutely breathtaking. The sound was exhilarating. The Quads revealed the upper air of the Fitzgerald LP, with horns, hi-hat

Parasound was no exception. This combo was magical. The leading edges of voices, tenor saxophones, and drums reached out to caress my ears. A joyous sense of upper-treble air made all music exhilarating, transparent

There was something else wrong when you hear it.

I don't pay attention to reviews much anymore because they really don't tell you anything.  I have owned three different JC1 amps, one of them was brand new (and burned in 500 hours).  The A21 was also brand new.  I have owned a variety of different amps and have compared these Parasound side-by-side with other amps.
+1 on Belles Aria. Good fit for your requirements. Just reacquired one for my 2nd system.

+1 on Hegel as a bad choice. While I wouldn't call it warm (nor would I call Aria warm), I do agree that it’s overly damped & flat/dense sounding

(Have owned both).
