If you can find the Legacy monobloc or Ultra monobloc I would recommend auditioning them. I previously used a Classe CA-200, two channels of Aragon 8008x5 and also vertically biamped them using 4 channels of the Aragon amp. The sound of the Classe was too rounded for my taste. I always thought the Aragons sounded very good and biamping gave the best results with them. A couple of months ago I came across a pair of the original Legacy monoblocs and bought them. I had read about people feeling that the Aragons having a slightly grainy high end and I could never hear this effect. Once I hooked up the Legacies I realized they were correct. I guess you can't recognize this until you have a direct comparison. The difference was subtle but very definitely there and made the Legacies more musically satisfying than the Aragon. I also preferred the Aragon over the Classe. I could never get past the differences in the bass performance to keep it in my system. I felt the big difference in bass performance outweighed the Classe's slight edge in high frequency performance. The gap widened when the Aragon was run biamped. This is just my opinion and I liked the Classe enough to keep it for use in a second system.
The other big difference and what clinched it for me was that the Legacies require very little warmup time and run very cool while the Aragon requires about 30 minutes to reach its optimum operating temperature and sound their best and they generate a significant amount of heat. I generally don't want to play my system for 30 minutes before I listen to it. The Legacy also has a slightly darker tonal balance with great bass control and pitch definition. They also give a nice presentation of timbre and pitch of indivdiual instruments. Imaging three dimensionality is also first rate.
If you get the chance to listen to the Legacies with the Whispers you will not be disappointed.
