According to Rick Santiago, CEO of Indy

Audio Labs, which now builds the Aragon

8008 (in the USA, I should add, but see our

breakout box ‘Company History’ for more

information), the ‘original’ Aragon 8008

was a redesigned Aragon 4004 with updated

on’t you just love it when a beau-

tiful form is also functional? Or,

to put it the other way around,

when a functional form is also

beautiful? That’s what Indy Audio Labs has

achieved with the Aragon 8008. That distinc-

tive ‘V’ slashed though the front panel is a

very clever section of custom heatsinking

that allows the heat generated by this 200-

watt per channel ampliﬁer (into 8Ω, it’s rated

at 400-watts per channel into 4Ω) to dissipate

into the atmosphere without the need for

fan assistance, even when the ampliﬁer is

One thing you should know right away is

that the Aragon 8008 that’s available on the

shelves in Australia now is not quite the same

as the Aragon 8008 that was sold in the late

90s. It’s a different beast entirely… or if not

‘entirely different’ then ‘mostly different’.

transistors, an updated balanced input and

improved heat dissipation. It had a single

power transformer, with independent wind-

ings around a common core and eight output

devices per channel. It was known as the ‘ST’

(‘Single Transformer’) model. There was later

a ‘BB’ version of the 8008 that had two sepa-

rate transformers, and could be ordered with

either balanced or unbalanced inputs, and

which had 12 output devices per channel.

The ST and BB were sold concurrently.

After Klipsch purchased Mondial, it

brought out a Mark II dual-transformer

version of the 8008 with upgraded cosmetics,

over-temp protection, and balanced and

unbalanced inputs, designed by Mike

Kusiak who, with Adam Gershon, had been

responsible for the original design. This new

version of the 8008 from Indy Audio Labs

was developed by IAL’s chief engineer, Joe

Land (who won the 2012 Eaton Award for

Design Excellence from Purdue University).
