Aragon....great choice. Might be hard to find for $3000, but the Krell KAV500 is awesome also. But if you really want the BEST choice, especially if you are doubling the system with hometheater, the Cinepro 3K6II. TREMENDOUS power, control, and accuracy. Only downfall is its looks
Amplifier suggestions
I am using Sony DVP-S7700 as Transport to Theta Casa Nova to Aerial 7B. I would like some suggestions in the $3000.00, (used), range for amplifier. My room is 15'X30'X9' ceilings and I listen to Jazz, Blues and Rock at high volume levels. The Aerial's need an amp with good bass control and high power output. Thanks in advance.
