On a journey for the last couple of years

I have read with interest the feedback from the forums and enjoy hearing other perspectives. I have upgraded my system significantly and feel I am now chasing the perfect system, which as we all know does not exist. The last decision I need to make is to replace my Aragon mono blocks with new mono blocks.

Current System

SimAudio - 740P Pre Amp

SimAudio 260 D CD Player

SimAudio 310 LP Phono Amp

Project X Turn table with Ortofon Black Quintet

Sonus Faber Olympica 5 with Martin Logan Sub (which I may upgrade once mono blocks tested

I am looking to enhance the low end with more punch, the Aragon's are just not doing it and I am considering two SimAudio 761's, Mcintosh MC611, Audio Research Mono Blocks. 

I will certainly test drive the amps before purchasing. Thank you for reading my post Happy New Year

I've had the Aragons for 30 year's, and have been a fan, I am going to try room optimization and sub woofer before venturing into the next amp selection.

The REL Carbons are great subs, but they are also very expensive especially if you’re getting two.  You could get two Rhythmik E15 subs for less than half the price of one Carbon sub and highly doubt you’d be disappointed by the performance, and they offer a 45-day return period that’s nice to have.  I recommend at least giving them a call as it could save you big $$$ and give you all the performance you’ll ever need.

For low-end grip, presence, punch, and texture….  I’ve been very happy with Krell amps and Rhythmic subs.   REL is good, but in direct comparison the Rhythmic totally smoked them.   YMMV.
