Opinions on Aragon 4004MKII?

I know this is not state of the art and all but how do folks feel about this amps quality and performance, your thoughts would be great.
I use this amp for mids and tweets in a bi-amp set-up and am curious of its signature vs other similar priced used amps in this power and price range, say Classe, Parasound and others.......thanks as always.

Have been using one for some time now. Very happy with it's
sound and build quality.I have heard better but it costs a lot of money to get there.

I think it's a good amp. Though, If it were me...thinking about some sort of amp upgrade for "your" system:

I would put tubes on the mid/HF drivers, and move the Aragon to the woofers. Your crossover point between the mids and woofers is low enough to get a good blend between the two amp types....and, with an active crossover, it will be seamless.

I've tried this with my Apogees, but....my crossover point is in a more critical area than yours.

Thanks guys, I have thought about tubes on and off for a couple years, now that I am not in the living room and in my own soom soon i think I could go that direction.

Excellent sounding amp, very tough or near impossible to beat at its price point!
