RE: Parasound A21 VS SST Son of Ampzilla ll

The A21 is not what I would consider warm, but it's also not detailed in the sense of being analytical. I think it's a neutral and transparent amplifier. If you're looking for warmth, maybe you should consider different speakers. I think speakers might have more impact on that sort of sound than a solid state amplifier. On the other hand, maybe a tube amplifier might bring out the warmth you're looking for. Another thing might be different speaker placement.

I had a rather interesting experience just last week. I got out some small B&W speakers I bought five years ago just before buying my Thiels, and I've been having a lot of fun listening to a completely different sound. In fact, these things are definitely warm. Check out my post at the link below.
