EAD Powermaster 1000 amp vs Aragon 8008x3


Both of thses amps are 200 watts per channel, does anyone
have experience with these and what type of cables would work best with Paradigm 100 v2 speakers. Listen to R&B and Jazz.

Although I have a hometheater set-up I am only concerned with
the 2 channel operation. I am looking to get a modwright pre
amp and bypass an EAD processor.

Any thoughts.

i owned the 8008x3. it was a very powerful and neutral sounding amp. it didn't add anything or detract anything from the signal. i haven't heard the ead so i can't comment on it's sound. i'm running all tubes now which i prefer way more than any of the solid state amps i've used.
Thanks, The EAD processor that I use is an Ovation Plus. I
really like it. Now back to the Amps. I was using regular
run of the mill speaker cables with the EAD. I bought speaker
cables from Signal Cable and switched back and forth and thought the Aragon sounded better, more full. It seemed the
EAD was bright with these cables.

Now that I have finally realized the foray into hometheater will end I'm looking to improve my system without
spending too much money. I will keep the HT I will just
upgrade the 2 channel around it. Maybe different speaker
cables is another avenue I need to pursue.
Speaker cables have been the biggest improvement in my system, so far. I'm currently using an Adcom GFA-555 amp. My Studio 100v2 responded very well to DH Labs Q10 biwires. I'm sure I could have found better, I just happen to stumble on them. In fact, I was able to move the speakers further out from the wall because of the improved bass response. I am now looking for analog interconnects. Still have a long way to go. Good luck!
