Ok, wondering if I can get some advice. I am ready to upgrade my old AVR and step up to something new. Through research, I have thought about getting the Parasound P5 preamp and A23 power amp. This seems to fit my budget as a major upgrade. I do not know if I want to go towards a tube amp or not, but I can be swayed. The problem is, it is near impossible to audition these items nowadays. Does anybody have a strong opinion on Parasound? The reviews are awesome, but that is hard to make that purchase based on some articles on the internet.
I currently have Quartets that have not been modded as of yet. I plan to do crossovers at some point, but not yet. I also hope to upgrade the speakers as well, and I am thinking of the P37-f's if my budget ever allows. I have heard that the Palladium series sounds really good with solid state pre and power amps. Any advice is welcome.
