Also an owner of the A21, with no experience of the Aragon. I looked it up, that amp retails for $6000! the A21 is less than half that, and doesn't double it's output at 4 ohms.
I've only experience with budget gear like NAD, Emotiva, or Adcom, but my speakers are some pretty high end Paradigm Signature S6 v2. The Parasound is the best with these revealing speakers. The sound was warmed up somewhat and the midrange is really lovely with this amp. I'm using an Oppo 95 and Pro-ject Carbon as sources with Morrow and Audioquest cabling which bring a focus and detail to the music as well.
The usual school of thought says to spend the most on the speakers which is what I did. But if you've really got the budget, the Aragon seems like a lot of amp, if you have the speakers to take advantage of it.
