Parasound A52 or 2205AT?

This is somewhat subjective question, but I would love some advise/inputs.
I am considering either Parasound 2205AT (used) or A52 to drive following speakers:
LC265i x2 (FR and FL)
LCi-C (center)
LC80i x2 (RR and RL)
Parasound A51 is too expensive for my budget.
A52 is 225w x 5 at 4 ohm
2205AT is 300w x 5 at 4 ohm.
I am not sure how old this 2205AT is but 2205AT was in production during 2000-2004. 2205AT was replaced by A51, therefore has 2 kVA Toroid power transformer and 150,000 µF capacitance. A52 has 1.4 kVA Toroid power transformer and 100,000 µF capacitance.
If speakers are less efficient, I would definitely go with 2205AT. But for LC265i, would I notice difference between A52 and 2205AT?

Go with the A52 amp and never look back
The Halo amp's are built like a tank, and sound beautiful.
