Good morning ladies and gents,

Found this amp on eBay Australia and was wondering if anybody had heard of these and how good they are :eek: ? Any help is appreciated. I am also looking at a Rotel RMB1095 as well for multiple channel amplification for the main system, but am still curious about the amp in the link :confused: .

Thanks in advance .

    Well if nothing else it looks cool, I've never heard of it but I'm sure there are many others here that have.

    I personally haven't put any ears on the Aragons but I understand them to a good reputation.

    It's overpriced but still a nice amplifier.

    G'day !

    Also take a look on Audiogon for opinions of folks who have it, or are thinking about getting it.

    How much is AU $1850 in US dollars, btw ?

    Agreed it is a nice amp. and its still over priced I think. This is his 4th attempt at selling it btw. he started out at AU $2300 and is now down to his current opening bid. REGARDS SNOW
    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Thanks snow,

    Agreed, other stuff he carries is a bit overpriced, but I wasn't sure about the amp in question. Thanks for your feedback.
