Am not a huge fan of Rotel or Parasound personally. I find they are both competent but unexciting amps. They need exciting speakers to be at their best.
This is obviously a matter of taste.
I think the C298 is more dynamic. It is not in upper echelon like the Chords or AVMs but at $2K, I love it. Would be my first choice in that price range if it was with neutral to slightly bright speakers.
