Audio research 100.2 any good ?????

I am thinking of buying a audio research 100.2 amp . I am driving monitor audio silver 8 speakers and want a nice warm sound . Is the audio research a good amp @ only 100 watts per channel , or should i step up to a parasound a21 ?

@nesto719....what kind of budget do you have in mind?  Do you plan on hanging onto the MA for awhile?  What percentage of music vs  movies (h/t)?  This will help.  Thanks.

If you are thinking about an integrated any one of the Marantz Reference Series integrateds would fill the bill.

I personally would not have put any NAD in the league of a 100.2 either. 

Here is a thread asking about a couple of Integrateds... Read through it, a lot of good suggestions.
