Class D substitute for Parasound Parasound HCA2200mkII

[MarkSan]

Running a pair of B&W808, Parasound HCA2200mkII and Preamp P-/D-2000.
Would like to run stronger Amp(s) but keep the Pre.
any suggestions if this makes sense and what would a suitable Class D Amp be. Many thanks for your help/suggestions

Isn’t that amp like 385W into 4 ohms? Not sure you would need more power, but you’d have to go with the bridged Purifi or Hypex NC500 builds.

Parasound HCA2200mkII

I used to own this amp. It was a good amp. What issues are you having with it? Can't you just keep it?

1. How much power do you think you need?
2. How much money do you plan to spend?
3. Pushing a lot of power for extended periods of time, how long do you expect this amp to last?
4. Are we venturing into the possibility of a pro sound amp?
