IMO, a step up. I liked my HCA 1500A more than the A21. I found it to be warmer and a more forward midrange than the A21.
The 1500A's seem to be built like tanks as well. I've had mine for a long time and no matter what it seems to be the one part of my system that I would never consider selling. Even if I replaced it in my 2ch rig, I would happily find a new home for it in my home.

Totally agree. I've moved up to a PS Audio BHK-250 amp in my 2 channel system but have owned two 1500A's for the past 6+ years.
One's used for home theater and the other is in storage as a backup. Took allot more coin to move from the Parasound. Used on 2B's, CRS+, 1C's, 705's and 1.2tl's, to name a few speakers. All SDA's heavily modded w/much larger inductors and the 1500's, assuming a bit more load, never failed. Said many times on this forum...Parasound + SDA = sweet music.
Haven't heard the A21 or A23 but know the 1500A is worth every penny, stock, and can be upgraded by a good tech to even better results.
GLWTS!
As am I. To the whole paramount thing! Never owned or heard one.
Not in line!
