B&K Sonata M200 vs Aragon paladiums - whats better

The Aragon's are much better amps IMO. They can run with the Big Dog's.

Sogood51 is right again. The Aragons are great little amps, and a very good deal for the money.

If I were buying I'm not sure what I would do though, you are in the range of some very good stereo amps on the used market. The Pass Labs is a good option, or even some of the Krell FPB series can be snapped up for about the same price.

I understand why a person would want to go with monoblocks, but I'm not sure where the biggest bang for the buck would lie in this application.

Just get a new pair of Wolcott's!

For the money the M200's are very nice, the Paladiums for a lot more money are better, but whomever said used Pass X250 was dead on, for the money of an M200, yeah ok, but for the money of a Paladium get the real McCoy, at that price on my short list would be the Pass, and Edge, Gryphon, and Levinson, (Levinson is in flux as a company, getting service is a long drawn out proposition 6-12 weeks) still the Pass and Levinson are my common favorites, the Edge and Gryphon are also very nice but less frequent used, note: I am not a Krell fan, have a listen and make up your own mind.

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES
THE AMPS I AM CONSIDERING ARE USED. THE PASS X350 IS AWESOME AS I AUDITIONED WITH MY OWN SPEAKERS, PROBLEM IS WIFE WOULDN'T GO FOR A $8000 AMP PURCHASE.

I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE GRYPHON BUT WILL LOOK IT UP

AS FAR AS EDGE I HAD AN M8 - WHILE THE SOUND WAS CLEAN AND DETAILED - IT ULTIMATELY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER AND SOUNDED CONSTRAINED AT HIGH VOLUME

WOULD A PASS X150 BE ENOUGH POWER - I KNOW THE 350 IS....

Enough power for what?
