Aragon 8008x5 or EAD PM 1000


I'm looking for power amp to set up a system 70% music and 30% movie. I have three choices of speakers: Aerial 10t,B&W 802 and KEF reference 4. Any advice for the combination of the above speakers with Arogon or EAD? THanks a lot, Shenzhi

I own 3 Aragon amps and can't imagine a better amp at their price point. Why don't you call Aragon for some information. I think you will be surprised at the level of customer support. The Aerial 10t sounds a lot different to me than the B&W 802. The 802 is cleaner sounding and maybe a little brigther. I would definely give the soundstage award though to Aerial. I would however chose the B&W because I like the other speakers in that series that you would be likely using, the center and the wall mount surrounds. B&W make speakers specially designed for surrounds which makes wall mounting a alot easier. I am not impressed by KEF reference 4. I heard the KEF next to a pair of PSB Stratus golds and the Golds were kicking thier butts.
