The pany 45 is terrible for analog sources.
I own a freshly modified Sim i-5 which is rated about the same as the Pannys rms.
I use the modded i-5 for 2 channel sa-cd, and sometimes redbook.
When your comparing a digital source, the Pany is more transparent than the stock i-5 was, but its also not as refined at the same time.If you want to use analog sources, the Pany 45 is way out of the running imo, as compared to anything in the Sim line up.
I am currently running two 45's in a 2 and 6.1 channel bi amped set up and it sounds much better than using one 45.
Add power conditioning,better pc's and digital cable and things are getting even better.The real refinment will probably only be there after mods, which I have planned next.
After these two 45's are modded,they may meet or beat the modded i-5, or even seperates for redbook....time will tell
