However, Aragon has more in common with Adcom than Krell. There are too many good sounding amplifiers from the '70s and '80s like Krell, Mark Levinson, Threshold, Audio Research, Quicksilver, Robertson and Dynaco are just a few that come to mind.

However, Roger Modjeski designed an OTL amplifier that became Counterpoint's first amp called the SA-4. It is probably the same design used in the big Beverage speakers, but Modjeski won't admit it even though he was involved with the Beverage project.
