How does Aragon 24k/2004 stack up to modern equip?

Rgs92, I will have to come clean and agree with your conclusion on the Aragon 8000 series. Since most of the music and vocals hang out in the midrange, the 8000 series does sound flat here. But the earlier models, the Aragon 2004 and 4004 are not plagued by this problem, they sound totally different. If I didn't have a great deal of money to spend I could easily live with the Aragon 2004 or if I needed more power the 4004 would fit the bill nicely.

I'm happy with my (2) 2004 MK2's Biamping my Infinity RS-1b's.
But I also use (2) Hafler 9303's bridged for the high end and a Adcom 5800 for the base colume's which have cleaner, clearer, much more headroom and lower noise floor sound.
The 2004 do make the speaker's sing quite well though.

Hi all ! Hate to say this..but the Aragon 4004 mk2 was the worst sounding amp I have ever owned . As far as sound quality goes my little 40 wpc Rotel sounded much smoother .

Bradluke,

What equipment was that paired with? I am loving the Aragon 4004 that I recently put in my system. A true step up with my SP Technology Minis. Though I could see how its lowish input impedance may not play well with some preamps. Eh, whatever it was, just thought I'd throw in my impressions.

As always, finding system synergy and finding something meeting your own particular musical priorities is the key to success in this hobby.

I recently picked up an Aragon 2004. It replaced a Harman Kardon PA5800 that I was using. It was kind of funny because one of the tracks on a Sade CD that I like turned out to have falling rain in the background. I had never heard it before. I'd have to say that the amp made a difference in my system.

I got the amp off of ebay and it turned out that it has some problems. Rather than sending it back, I've chosen to take it to a shop to be repaired. I think I'm going to hang on to this amp for a while.

I know that there is better out there, but my ears haven't heard it yet and ignorance, as they say, is bliss.
