    Default Parasound (A23) or Monoprice Monolith (made by ATI)

    Thinking of buying either the Parasound A23 or one of the Monoprice Monolith amps to drive front left and right Sierra 2's as a replacement for the Emotiva UPA2 I am currently using.

    About 80/20 music / movies.

    Any one hear both of these (or one or the other) and have any inputs?

    Thanks,

    I have an older ATI, and think it’s great. I would not hesitate to try the Monolith.

    The again, the Halo has a great reputation.

    Ha...that doesn’t really help you.

    Well, I decided to add a tube amp for my front Left and Right Sierra 2's as I am primarily music... have a Rogue Atlas Magnum II on the way

    Will do. Supposed to arrive Friday.

    Reviews were very positive. I had considered also either a Stereo 90 or Stereo 100 (higher up the line), but wife (and I) preferred look of the Atlas. The Atlas also looks to be a bit less work for checking/adjusting tube bias (don't need to remove cover) when needed.

    My phono preamp is also tube design (Manley Chinook).
