Which Amp Would You Buy


Bryston 4BST or Aragon 8008BB and why? Budget is 1200-1400 (Used) if you have other suggestions as well. Thank you.

I don't know anything about the Aragon but I recently got a Bryston 4BST and am more impressed with it every day. It is very balanced, clean and has a great deal of head room on the loud passages. The low bass is outstanding. I'm using it to drive a pair of Thiel CS6's that need a lot of power.
I recently bought the Creek 4330 integrated Amp. It gives wonderful bass, excellent imagaging, and is only 600.00. A tuner is another 600.00. Simple clean design and use.
Another good idea is the Cambridge Audio line. Much like the Creek, and about the same price line. Good Luck.
Not knowing the rest of the system and personal priorities it's some what futile, how ever I would consider a Conrad-Johnson MF 2300 A.
I had a bryston 6b-st and a aragon 8008bb. They are both very nice. the 6b-st is a little cleaner and defined with a nice soundstage. the 8008bb is a little warmer and darker with more bass. I now have linn klimax solos it never really ends but i think you have two fine choices and
Aragon...all the way..
They are the best sounding amps for the dollar..
Get the bb though.. The amp does not quit.. Excellent build quality, great bottom end quick. Highs and vocals are very detailed and three dimensional.. I do recommend a great pair of interconnects and a nice power cable..
also, upgrade the binding posts to cardas full copper..
Dont wait get one now..
