Amp choices


My discussion was delated for some reason.  I have an Aragon 8008 bb with SF Olympica 3 speakers.  I am borrowing a friends A 21 which I was told would clearly be a step up.  I'm not sure I agree totally.  .

I have JPS power cords.  The new PAC Black.  It replaced some higher priced Shunyata's.      
Thank you.  I hear good things about the .8 amps and the 250.8 seems to be the sweet spot.  You mentioned you know the A21 well.  Would you say it's sideways to the 8008? 
Yes they are nice speakers.  Thank you.  I was thinking about a more significant upgrade which would include a Pass 250.8 or a D'Agostino Classic stereo amp.  I think the A 21 might be a sideways move.
It sounds like a Pass 250.8 is something to look at as a real serious upgrade.  You are correct that the A21 is probably better balanced, but the 8008 has more control of the speakers.  I'm using AZ Hologram ii speaker cables and Wow ii interconnects.  I could probably do better on the interconnects maybe with Matrix ii or something from AQ.
