Systen Upgrade advice

You make it hard because your speakers are a total unknown. The Aragon is probably the week link in your system but knowing nothing about your speakers I can't really recommend a different amplifier.

I understand Alan.
If it helps its a 3 way hybrid open baffle system. sb acoustics tweeter, peerless 6 inch mid and 10 inch woofer 88db sensitivity. I would say if i get another amp it should be similar in power (150-200 watts)

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

One other question
Budget?
Also would you consider going tubes or do you want to stick with SS. For SS I would look at pass labs
For tuves The VAC stuff is really good.If you are on a budget I think some of the Emotiva amps would be an improvement over the Aragon

Solid state on a Power Amp. I am open to either on a Pre. This is #1 for reliability purposes and #2 I think that since the early 1990's there have been big improvements in solid state so a good SS component today is significantly improved (?). There are lots of tube stuff I salivate over (Manley, VAC, VTL etc)but out of my league. I would consider Pass. In fact I have been considering the X150. I was considering the Plinius but some have said they run even hotter than the Pass stuff and I have concerns with reliability/servicing of an item from overseas. At least I can get Pass equipment serviced.

Oops, didn't answer the important question. Budget is $2000 (a bit more if i have to)
