Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2

Anyone done any real comparisons with these 2 amplifiers? Opinions on both? Bass,mids,highs,soundstaging? Thanks

Aragon is just a better product. Build quality, musicality, vocals are more accurate and forward, bass is much more accurate but not boomy. Highs are more detailed and deeper sounding.. symbols sizzle longer and musical placement is better.. The adcom is nice for the money.. Definately not in the same league with the Aragon! I am slightly partial to Aragon, I own 5 of their amps.. Palladiums, and 3 8002s. Happy listening, Joe Custom Audio LLC

Adcom was most peoples first exposure to separates. Aragon on the other hand you needed to look a little deeper to find. IMO Regardless, in the used market the 555 is still able to be used to bridge to mono and I believe is rated at higher wattage than the Aragon... like that matters. Protect your hearing!!
