Have a Parasound HCA-1000a in route. Had a 1500a that i loved, but didnt need it since i have been on a monitor kick. Wanted more flexibility, current and low end control. I am hoping 125 watts @ 8 ohms / 200 @ 4 will fit the bill.

    Will do. Should be similar, but I don't think the 1000a uses MOSFETS.

    I've had both the models you mention plus an HCA-750a at one time, the 1000a is a very sweet amp, much better then the 750a to my ears, but doesn't have quite the authority of the HCA-1500a, as would be expected. Enjoy!
