FWIW, I use an ARC SP 9 mkII pre with my Aragon Palladium 1K monos. the 9 is a tube/hybrid pre, and I have never had any difficulties at any volume level. The Aragon monos are 125 wpc Class A, switching to AB above that and going 400 wpc into 8 ohms, 600 into 4 ohms.
Audio Research and Aragon
Does anyone have any experience matching an aragon 4004 mk II with an audio research preamp. Would an LS3 be a good match? Would the LS3 have enough gain? I have been told that the LS3 is a fairly warm preamp for solid state. Also that it is quite dynamic and images well with no loss of the low end. Looking for thoughts and advice.
Thanks all.
