D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks
I downsized from a 5.1 surround system back to 2 channel. Got rid of my 5 Theta monoblocks, and have a pair of the D'Agostino's coming. I am so looking forward to getting them in my system. They will be used with an ARC Ref 10 preamp and Wilson Maxx 3 speakers.

statman Be interested in what you hear, as when you get them you'll be hearing great linear amps in the Progression monos, compared to what you were used to in the Theta which are great Class-D. Hope that's all you change at first to get a good idea of what you hear between the two.. The Wilson Max 3 are a bit of a pig to drive in the bass, I expect the Progression to do well here, and maybe sound a bit more analogue (richer) through the mids and transparent in the tops. Which has been my observations when comparing the two of similar status amps. https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/909WM3fig1.jpg Cheers George |
After changing from the Theta Prometheus (which is a really great sounding amp) I have had a pair of ARC Ref 250 SE monoblocks, and Momentum monos for a back to back comparison. All three were with the same ARC Ref 10 preamp. Couldn’t get 3 more opposite amp topologies. I'm surprised the Momentum monoblocks didn't push your buttons. I know the Progression is a step up in power, but the topology will be similar to the Momentum, and should have had enough power for you. Cheers George |
