Just found this review of Parasound's A21+ on positive Feedback and thought it was a good read. For my budget, the A21 was the end game. Now the A21+ can be my end game, since I can't afford either!

The most interesting part for me was R. Schram's efforts to keep the price/quality consistent over the A21's 12 year run.

    I finally got an A21 about 6 months ago, and don't come anywhere near it's output capabilities. I love it.

    Kicking around the idea of sending back the 2250 and getting 21+.

    Which is what I should have done in the first place.. D'oh
