Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w


Hello everyone, 
     I know this is a long shot but is anyone using the above combination. I am attempting to find the correct balanced crossover. I have 20K RCA, 150K balanced, these do not sound good. I do have the WX2 box but believe it is defective. I have downloaded the Vandertones and am using a multi-meter to check AC voltage at the speaker. None of that matters if I do not have various capacitors to try. 

So.... since I do not know the correct input impedance for this amp, does anyone have one they are using successfully with a 2w series sub-woofer?

PS, the advertised spec I found for the amplifier is 22K single ended. The 20K single ended crossover does not sound or measure correctly. I believe the impedance for the 8008x5 may be different from an 8008. Speakers are Vandersteen 2ci.

Thanks in advance!

Well.... this was of course so point of debate and applied science during the run up to remodel of the condo and selecting speakers... having Model 7 and also not being a very loud listener can inform with real data just what real 30 cycle performance at 75 dB looks like a floor below.
i put in a double layer of cork / magic stuff over the concrete slap and under the engineered hardwood floor.
i know the neighbor below and her unit is for sale ( and has been )
but as you say the siren song of the 3 is strong...
i think I know a guy with a loaner...

i have my Audiotools RTA
i love real data....

yes the new sub 3 is killer - have heard it here on West Coast 
i am a home theater idiot and shall stay that way, yes that was the sub I was referring to

i would pair the sub 3 with my Treo CT except that i would get evicted....ha


on the subject of W vs. WQ I believe the W is more of a slam / bam HT sub, and the WQ is much more accurate.....
