Marantz AMP10 or Parasound?

[Mark M]

I have a Marantz AV10 and a Parasound A21+.
I have a 9.2.4 surround system.
I'd like to upgrade my center, surround, and atmos amps. I'm keeping the A21+.
Should I get an AMP10 or a Parasound A51 and a 4 channel amp for the 4 atmos heights?

Gene??

Probably the Marantz. That series of gear seems incredibly well made. I have an AV 10, and its quality of construction and performance continues to astound me. That is the first AV Preamp I have owned that is comparable in quality to the rest of my system. The others fall far short compared to that unit. I doubt you will go wrong with the Marantz amp 10.

I'm thinking maybe the A51 to complete the bed layer and an outlaw for the atmos heights.
