A used Aragon amp along with a Creek or F.T. audio passive can be had in that price range, this would in my opinion pretty much blow the doors off of anything on your list for quality of sound for money spent. The Aragon's match up very well with passives.
What would you choose among these to amp?
I am buying a new amplification set for my system, and I now have my options narrowed to basically four:
Roksan kandy integrated (1100 dollars)
Adcom 5800 + Rotel RC972 preamp (1000)
Adcom 7000 integrated (1000)
Marantz SR-18 receiver (900)
Considering the closest upgrade I have in mind is a subwoofer, and I will use the amp to drive a pair of JBL S310II, mainly for music usage, what would be the recommendation?
