If you'd have to choose between these two I'd go for the Aragon and use the money saved to go give it some TLC: caps, bias etc. That way you'll have an amp that is as good as new and can keep up with many modern designs.
Aragon 4004MKII Vs. Bryston 4 B Pro
I may need a new amp and am wondering if anyone has thoughts on the 2 amps I listed. The Bryston is balanced, the 4004 is not but the Bryston is a couple hundred more. The 4B is the older model, PRO version with the Bryston printed in big letters on the front of the amp. Any toughts would be appreciated,Thanks!!!
