Help with amp selection


I'm looking to upgrade my Denon 3300 with seperate amps and was wondering if someone could give me a few suggestions.

My current setup consists of Boston Acoustics Lynnfield 300L as front speakers in a 5.1 setup with Boston VR40's in the rear and a subwoofer crossed over with the Denon's bass management at 80Hz. I'm mainly a home theater guy, but always stuck to the philosophy that if it sounds better with music it will home theater as well. Not a big fan of the THX standard other than cinema re-eq. I also use this system for 2-channel music as well.

I recently accquired the 300L's and they are fairly in efficient 85db I believe. I used to own an Aragon 2004MKII many years ago but had to sell when the wife and kids came along. I was thinking of trying to find some 2004's to hook up to the system, but wondered if anyone could recommend alternate brands. The Boston's can be a bit shrill in the highs, so I'm looking for an amp that has a warmer sound to it. I don't have much of an opportunity to demo amplifiers where I live. The nearest big city is Indianapolis and it's about 60-70 miles from smalltown USA. How would someone classify the Aragon's sound?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to participating and learning from this forum.

Take a look at the Marsh A400 (200 wpc) or its smaller sibling (100 wpc) - Bothe offer balanced mode and retail for 1995 and 1295.
To follow up wtih P_mmk, I've had some experience with older NAD and Rotel equipment. The Rotels I've had (two or three generations earlier than the RB-991) had weighty bass, but were a bit aggressive on top. The old NAD gear (pre Monitor series) is also transistor-y sounding compared to higher priced gear. My 3155 still blows the doors off a cheap AV receiver I tried and sold, though. I've heard that Adcom is a little warmer and softer than Rotel and NAD. Vintage Carver might be something to listen to also...
I'm sure I'll be purchasing whatever I decide to buy from the audiogon classified section. Some great deals floating around here.
The Sonograph amps from Conrad Johnson are pretty smooth, there are sevral for sale here. ( no, none are mine )
On the "cheap" side, Monarchy SE-100 series mono-blocks. Big, rich and warm but not at the expense of detail. On the more expensive end, the Roland Model 1. A warmer cable like the old Tara Labs Prime 1000 might also help.
