Which system to buy Aragon forte or McCormack?

I'm looking for the most musical combination for spica angelus , tc 50 and apogee centaur minor. I like resolution clarity imaging and wide soundstage. What would you suggest? I have Aragon 4004 mk2 or McCormack DNA .5 amps but don't know if it's worth buying a forte system to try. Haven't heard a system comparison in many years

"Not sure about the McCormack if it's Mosfet or not"

I'm pretty sure they use bipolar transistors.

Thank you all. Yes Lou this is the same person. I hope you have enjoyed the luxman. You have an excellent memory.

I purchased several systems for the Apogee and Spicasincluding a McComack DNA .5 and RDL-1. I'm curious to hear the Aragon vs McCormack. Everyone likes the McCormack better. Right now I'm runninG a Prima luna Prologue 2 with the Angelus and it sounds very very good but I would like to see if solid state at the McCormack level is better.I'll keep you posted.

As with most SS amps, they seem to sound better with a properly mated tube preamp in front of them.
