B&K vs. Aragon


I presently have a B&K Pro10MC Sonata preamp and ST140 amp combo. I like the warm sound with a Rega P32000 and Dynavector cartridge, Paradigm Sudio 60v2s. What would an equivalent Aragon system sound like (18K or 24K) preamp with
4002 or 2004 amp sound like in comparison? I do not have the luxury of auditioning. I listen to mostly jazz, rock and folk.

For the record, Sdcampbell hit the nail precicely on the head if you ask me! I've experience with both lines, and owned the Aragon gear, and sold the Lexicon/Bryston stuff!
What this gentleman said is about as accurate of an assessment as you're going to get...including asking whether you were going to switch speakers or not!
The Pardigm Studio's are also, like the Bryston stuff, a bit on the warmer and more full bodied side of neutral, even more so than the Aragons stuff, which is closer to a more neutral palate, although still slightly warm.
Realy, I think the Aragon would be a better chioce to contrast the wamish colored tonal balaance that the Paradigms offer. In summing, I think the Aragon would be a worth while improvemnt if you were keeping those speakers, yes.
good luck...
