Parasound HCA1500a Lucasfilm THX ultra high current amplifier 205 watts per ch. I had no issues with this amp last time I used it three months ago prior to purchasing a new amplifier.

205 watts per channel.Exceptionally smooth sounding amp . 110 dB signal-to-noise ratio, which offers distortion-free sound performance. very low noise, extremely detailed without the least bit bright.
