Adcom GFA-5802 -vs- Parasound HCA-3500 Amps?

Liquid-smooth..."Parasound amps tend to break down quite a bit"...is completely false..having owned two Parasound amps
and three Parsound Preamps during the past 23 year's I found their gear to be the most reliable and stable high end budget components on the market. Parasound has a long standing reputation for ruggedness and reliability. Their amps are very DURABLE and have a unmatched reputation for
consistent quality over the years.

Plus 1 on the reliability of Parasound. I sold and installed Parasound into hundreds of jobs and it was extremely rare to have any kind of problems.

Reviving. The hca 3500 had 120 amperes peak per channel. Anyone know this value on the 5800? Using a 5800 on my 3.6 which drop to 2.4 ohms

Parasound. !!

I have had both these amplifiers in my system for more than a decade.  They're both great amps.  In my opinion the Parasound is a bit higher end and more powerful, able to drive difficult loads.  But they both have a Class A/AB design and more headroom than most will need.  They're awesome amps for the money.  You can't go wrong with either.  Note that the Parasound is massive.  You need a deep rack to hold it, and it weighs 100 lbs.  You really need two people to move it, so if WAF is an issue consider that.
