Hey Davin,

I owned the Parasound 2500 with their 140w 5 channel amp, the model number escapes me at the moment. I upgraded to Atlantic Technologies P2000 processor which is an Outlaw 950 with a different name plate. On a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is "eh" and 5 is "oh my god" the difference was about 2.5 for music and 4 for HT. I've since moved up to the Outlaw 990 and 770 amp. For me the biggest improvement has again been with HT especially the rear channels.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I think you will be very happy with your purchase. You'll probably want to listen to all your CD's and DVD's over again to see what you've been missing.

Regards,
John
