I have used Parasound amps with my Ascends, they sounded very good.
After switching to the Emotiva XPA-2 I felt I was getting the most clean power for
less cost and hearing the full potential of what these great Speakers can do.

Quite a few companies build quality amps. Parasound, Emotiva, ATI and others. At a certain point, features may mean more than brand name.
I do agree that room treatment can make a big difference, after which gear upgrades become more noticeable. This has been my experience anyway.
