Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2


Anyone done any real comparisons with these 2 amplifiers? Opinions on both? Bass,mids,highs,soundstaging? Thanks

I second the opinion having owned both. The Aragon hands down. Better build and a lot more powerful sounding.
Aragon is the winner here in basically all sonic categories, and potential applications
Aragon beats B&K and B&K beats Adcom in my opinion.You will not do much better than a Aragon before they were bought out by Klipsch.

I would like to hear Monarchy and Plinius.
Reason i asked was because i own the aragon which retailed for 1895 and i know the adcom retailed for 900. Yet in the used market there seems to be only about 100-200 dollars difference in price. I was just wondering if the popular adcom was just as good as my aragon. Also if its not in the same league why has the aragon fallen so far in the used market? And why does the adcom seem to hold around 500 used? Thanks
Kool39,
Most likely it is the marketing...
Adcom was most peoples first exposure to separates.
Aragon on the other hand you needed to look a little deeper to find. IMO
Regardless, in the used market the 555 is still able to be used to bridge to mono and I believe is rated at higher wattage than the Aragon... like that matters.
