Amp choices


My discussion was delated for some reason.  I have an Aragon 8008 bb with SF Olympica 3 speakers.  I am borrowing a friends A 21 which I was told would clearly be a step up.  I'm not sure I agree totally.  .

Yeah... not sure why it was deleted. Not going to retype what I wrote last but just add are you using a decent power cord on your amp? A Kimber PK10 Gold would work great on your amp.


I'm sure your LS17 does sound very good on your 8008 as well. A21 is a very nice amp but as noted on our discussion that was deleted, I'm not surprised it didn't destroy your 8008 as they're both very nice amps.
I have JPS power cords.  The new PAC Black.  It replaced some higher priced Shunyata's.      
As mentioned the Aragon 8008BB is a fine amp, I would even say wonderful amp, that will drive just about any speaker out there.  Neutral and punchy with great dynamics.  If your 8008BB is up to spec with fully functioning power caps, toroidals, diodes, transistors, etc., then IMO, no need to move on to the Halo or any other amp.
