Accuphase Vs Parasound

Hi guys! I’m considering purchasing a used E-560 for USD 4000 to drive my Elac Adante AS-61 (85dB) . Im quite new to this hobby, so I’m hoping to be able to get some advice from more experienced listeners here on this. Do share your thoughts. Thank you 🙏

Just some background, before I saw the E-560 on the used market, I was planning to go for Parasound Hint 6 or Parasound P6 pre and perhaps A21 / A21+ (that’s apparently coming out in a couple of months). Right now I’m just using a Yamaha Aventage rx-a1060 AVR so it’s not ideal for music listening.

Oh shoot, I did not catch that.  If you are using ELAC speakers (which sound excellent, but are very inefficient), you need serious amounts of power.  Yeah, go with the Parasound Integrated.

Just get the Parasound JC5 and get a separate preamp

The Parasound Halo line is very very good equipment.  My JC1's go toe to toe with the best of the best.

I agree with the people who've said the Accuphase is in a different class altogether than the Parasound, I've listened to lots of models of both manufacturers and found they are both excellent choices at their price points.
I bought a pre-owned Yamaha A-S1000 for my future son-in-law, and that high-end Yamaha equipment is very very good as well.
