SThe new 2000 Series
THX® Ultra2-Certified amplifiers from Aragon bring powerful,
dynamic, high-end performance to the masses at substantially lower
pricing. The 2000 Series amplifiers will deliver 200 watts into
8 ohms and 300 watts into 4 ohms for effortless performance from
nearly any loudspeaker systems. All three amplifiers in this series
adhere to Mondial Designs' classic minimalist approach and THX®
Ultra2 specifications, which together ensure the highest level of
premium performance and product reliability.
Most amplifiers on the market today are overly complex and require
rows of integrated circuits (IC's) for protection circuitry, control
loops and signal buffering. This has a negative impact on sound
reproduction. The 2005 is a 5-channel amplifier that achieves its
high output using the fewest active components possible for a more
dynamic, more powerful and more detailed performance. The minimalist
approach of our design results not only in better sound, but in
amplifiers that consistently rate among the most reliable available
at any price.
When it comes to music systems, most high-end two-channel amplifiers
typically employ dual mono power supply configurations. In other
words, each channel operates as its own entity and only has as much
output available as its power supply can provide. (The demands of
stereo music are such that you would rarely find one channel needing
much more output than the other.) In today's multi-channel theater
and music systems, the power supply requirements are quite different.
The dynamics of modern digital soundtracks can demand huge amounts
of power from different channels at different times. One way to
provide for that would be to use multiple large power supplies,
but that results in additional cost, size and weight. The 2000 Series
amplifiers feature a single power supply design that we call SmartPower™.
In this configuration, a channel could provide substantially more
than its rated output for short periods of time by getting more
energy from the power supply while the other channels aren't demanding
as much. SmartPower™ enables the amplifier to perform at optimal
levels in high-end two-channel audio environments as well as in
the most demanding home theater applications.
The Aragon 2000 Series amplifiers feature gold-plated RCA phono
jack inputs and insulated five-way binding post outputs for each
channel. The clean and contemporary good looks are achieved through
the inclusion of a machined aluminum front panel with an engraved
Aragon logo and elegant blue LED lighting that perfectly complements
the available black or silver finish options. An included dimmer
switch allows you to choose full or half brightness, as well as
allowing you to completely turn off the LED lighting.
