I have been considering adding a dedicated amp to my Denon AVR for the front main Thiel CS 2 2 speakers. Tom had suggested an older ADCOM GFA 555 which I owned way back as a good match. My concerns are older parts and would like to avoid the extra cost and hassle of recapping. I found 2 older Adcom 545, a series 1 and 2 which have been recapped, but have lower power 100 w 8 ohms and 200 w 4 ohms. Thiels are 4 ohms so would receive the 200 watts. I would like the newer on -off trigger feature, but wasn't available for these amps. I researched a new Parasound 2125 V2 on sale now which is 140 w 8 and 235w 4 ohms. They advertise high amps delivery of 35 Amos per channel. I read some reviews where they compared this amp to the older Adcom 555. Anyone have any experience with smaller Parasound amp and smaller 2 series Thiel speakers. Tom, interested in your opinion on this since you have been very helpful to me and I can't thank you enough. Richard
