I'd go with the Aragon. It will definetly sound better than the Active 40's, which are great speakers. However, there is no comparison in amplification. Nor is there any substitute. I also would like the Aragon because I think the entire series of Paradigm speakers sound a little too rolled off at the top. You need an amp that will help make those tweeters sing, but not screech.
Aragon 8008BB or Odyssey Stratos power amp
Hello fellow audiophiles,
I plan on using the Paradigm Studio 40s,Rega Planet 2000 cd player,Conrad-Johnson or Rogue Audio preamp.Have any of you used or compared the Aragon or Odyssey with these speakers and or components that I have mentioned?
I love the way the Paradigms deliver the music.
I am open to ideas on this combination and cables.
Thank you all for your replys.
