FOR A LITTLE LESS THAN $850 SHIPPED, WOULD THIS BE A GOOD VALUE?

I NEVER OWNED Aragon, but I know plenty who have and this does seem like a good price.

Problem I am having is not many good three channel amps are available, and if you have to have it, oh well?

I thought about Acurus 100x3, but all this amp for less than double the cost seems a better deal?

Classe CAV 150 seems nice too, but I think you sacrifice current when bridging most amplifiers.

Bryston too, if I found one under a grand in good shape, with some warrantee left I may consider?

To my way of thing the ARAGON IS THE BETTER AMPLIFIER AND THIS ONE HAS TWICE THE POWER.

No intent by my cap, it just came out that way.

The Aragon 8008x3 is a fine amplifier with clean transparent sound and a potent power supply. The only caveat is that any example of the amplifier is going to be fairly old and things like the large and expensive electrolytic capacitors in that potent power supply can fail.
